What are fortresses?

A fortress is like a super-strong house that soldiers live in to protect their land.

Imagine you and your friends are playing hide-and-seek in a big park, but there’s a wall around the park that only your team can go through. That wall makes it harder for the other team to find you, it's like having a fortress!

What Makes a Fortress Special?

A fortress has thick walls and maybe even towers or gates. These parts help keep people safe from enemies who want to come in.

Think of it like your bedroom with a heavy door and a lock on it. If someone wants to get into your room, they have to knock really hard or find a way to open the door, just like soldiers in a fortress have to fight or find ways to enter!

Sometimes, a fortress is also like a castle with rooms where soldiers can hide and rest.

So, a fortress is a strong place that helps protect people, like a super-safe house for soldiers!
