Narva bastions, 17th century fortification system in Narva, Estonia.
The Narva fortification network consists of seven bastions constructed with thick stone walls, underground passages, and strategic defensive positions along the city perimeter.
Swedish military engineer Erik Dahlberg designed these defensive structures between 1682 and 1704, forming a critical border protection system between Sweden and Russia.
The names of the bastions - Honor, Gloria, Victoria, Fama, Triumph, Fortuna, and Spes - reflect military values of the Swedish Empire period.
Visitors can explore the restored Victoria bastion, which features preserved casemates, gunpowder storage rooms, and original defensive walls from the period.
The fortification system extends over four kilometers along its outer wall, with internal passages measuring one and a half kilometers through the structures.
