POINT OF INTEREST

Ravelin

The ravelin it’s a triangular-shaped construction located in front of the main body of the fortress, usually on the other side of the moat. This outer work served to protect the tenaille front and to strike the sectors closest to the moat and the covered way.

To allow vehicular access to the fortified enclosure, the structure was integrated into the main body of the fortress.
