Fort Pitt, Military fort in Medway, Great Britain.

Fort Pitt features thick curtain walls and bastions, constructed according to military architectural principles of the early nineteenth century period.

Built in 1805 during the Napoleonic Wars, Fort Pitt formed part of a network of fortifications protecting the strategic River Medway against potential invasions.

The fort stands as a testament to British military engineering, representing a period when coastal defenses were essential to national security.

Regular maintenance and preservation work ensures the structural integrity of Fort Pitt, while protective legislation restricts unauthorized modifications to the site.

The fort's pentagonal design incorporates specific defensive features that allowed soldiers to monitor and defend against attacks from multiple directions simultaneously.
