Manjarabad Fort

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

The star fortress is a type of bastion fort, a defensive system which evolved in Early Modern Europe in response to advances in artillery technology and tactics.  The design provided for covering fire to protect the fort from close-in operations, and its lower but thicker walls provided better protection from more effective cannon fire.  An excellent example of a star fortress is the  Manjarabad Fort in the Southern Indian state of Karnataka; seen here in this drone video by Amith, it utilized a French design and was completed in 1792.
