    Some of those look like mighty fine anti-Zombie fortresses.

    I think the French forgot what they were building about half-way through

    I love this stuff.

    For two that are closer to home, get on GoogleEarth and check out the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. It was originally a star fort. There's another on another island just east of Liberty Island. (Sorry, the names escape me.)

    Also, Den Helder in Holland. Havana, Cuba.

    Thanks for the post.

    IRC, you're thinking of Ft. Jay on Governor's Island.

    I agree with kangsta, one of them is all ****** up. The rest of them are very cool though.

    I'm not so sure the French one is messed. I think the city grew and the outer walls/ trenches might have been torn down/filled in.
