Olomouc Fortress, Military fortress in Olomouc, Czech Republic.
The fortress extends across thirty kilometers with a series of interconnected fortifications, bastions, ramparts, and military structures throughout the city of Olomouc.
During the 17th century, Olomouc developed an extensive defense system with two castles, known as Old and New, positioned strategically on Wenceslas Hill.
The National Cultural Monument designation since 1962 recognizes the fortress as a representation of Czech military engineering and architectural development through centuries.
Visitors can explore the fortress grounds through walking or cycling paths, with informational panels explaining the historical significance of different structures.
The former battlements have transformed into public parks with streams and gardens, merging military heritage with contemporary recreational spaces.
