Analysis of architectural adaptations to extreme geographical and climatic conditions.

The architectural design of mountain fortresses requires a high degree of adaptability to the extreme geographical and climatic conditions of their location. Particularly in inhospitable high altitudes and mountain regions that are difficult to access, builders must develop innovative solutions not only to overcome the natural conditions, but also to use them specifically for defence and supply purposes. The following analysis examines how these particular challenges have significantly influenced the architecture and structural appearance of mountain fortresses.
