Castles, Palaces, and Forts

Castle- is a large and stately mansion
- Originally were fortresses built to defend
Fort- is a fully equiped place with soldiers/troops
- are a permanent army post
Palace- is the official residence of a royal family

Tower of London London, England
- The first ever structure to find a use with having a mote
- There were no doors on the ground level of the tower which helped invaders from easily barging in


Palace of Alhambra
- Once was a fortress during the Crusade
- One weird thing about this building is that they have no proof of who the actual architect that built the building was

Castle of White Heron
- This is one of the odlest structure from Medieval Japan
- The fact that this stucture is made out of wood and has survived over so many years makes this one of the most sacred buildings
