Investigation of the military and political role of mountain fortresses from the Middle Ages to modern times.

Mountain fortresses occupy a prominent position in the history of military architecture. Their strategic importance stems primarily from their unique location in often inaccessible high altitudes, which not only offer natural protection but also allow optimal control over large areas of land.

The mountain fortresses featured in the project are impressive examples of this special type of construction: they combine engineering masterpieces with the targeted use of the natural topography to fulfil defensive purposes and act as a symbol of power in the landscape.

The presence of mountain fortresses influenced not only military tactics, but also the political landscape of the respective era. Their locations marked borders, secured trade routes and demonstrated the power of their builders. The combination of military strength and political function made mountain fortresses key factors in the stability and development of entire regions, whose significance continues to this day.

Mountain fortresses continue to influence the cultural heritage and perception of the regions in which they are located to this day.
