Castles & Fortresses: Historical Crosswords Online

Castle and fortress crosswords take you back to a time when wall thickness decided the fate of an entire city, and a drawbridge was the first line of defence against an enemy. The clues cover fortification elements like a moat, a keep and an arrow slit, famous castles across Europe and other regions, and legends that have been told beside their walls for centuries. This kind of puzzle suits students studying the Middle Ages and anyone who enjoys looking at old fortresses while travelling and wants to actually understand what they are looking at. Some questions are simple and cover general fortification concepts, others focus on specific castles with a rich history and ghost stories attached to them. The topic pairs well with the architecture section and continues it naturally in the direction of military building of the past.
