Six Incredible Star Forts

Star forts are incredible, relatively unappreciated structures. Humongous constructions that only really become visually stunning when you look down on them from above. this type of fortification design was adopted in the early 16th century as people realized that simpler, often circular forts were pretty crap when it came to the job in hand: defense.
Many of them still stand today in varying sizes. some are empty, some contain ruins. Some contain entire villages.
