"Bastion: A Journey Through Time and Continents" Step into the world of bastions, where history unfolds before your eyes. From the Three Musketeers to 19th-century tales, these fortresses have witnessed it all. Bodrum Harbour and The Castle of St. Peter in Turkey stand as a testament to their strategic importance. Venture further east, and you'll find Singapore, known as the bastion in the East by G. H. Davis. Its towering walls protected its inhabitants from countless threats throughout history. Gothic tracery adorns the decorated windows of St. Hilarion Castle in Cyprus, Europe's crusader castle overlooking the sea and coast. Meanwhile, Budapest's Fisherman's Bastion offers panoramic views of Hungary's capital city. Traveling south to Spain's Alhambra in Granada will transport you to a time when Moors ruled Andalusia amidst the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains. Wales' Anglesey boasts Beaumaris, a charming bastion that has stood strong for centuries against any potential invasions. Paphos Castle and Harbour in Cyprus beckon visitors with their enchanting charm on the shores of Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Even beyond land borders lies an unexpected connection - Foxhound Light Protected Patrol Vehicle guarding Afghanistan’s rugged terrain like modern-day bastions protecting peacekeepers. Malta's Valletta showcases its fortified walls that once guarded this island nation against invaders from across seas. Lastly, The Boat Lined Venetian Harbour and Fortress in Heraklion on Crete Island invites travelers to explore Greece’s rich maritime heritage while marveling at its formidable defenses. These bastions serve as reminders of our collective pasts – testaments to human ingenuity and resilience throughout history. Step inside these hallowed grounds; let them whisper stories only they can tell.
