Fortifications of Komárno, Military fortress complex in Komárno, Slovakia and Komárom, Hungary.
The fortification system spans across two countries, featuring an extensive network of bastions, moats, and artillery positions along the Danube River.
Construction of the fortress began in 1546 under Italian architect Pietro Ferrabosco, serving as a defense against Ottoman expansion into Habsburg territory.
The military museum within the fortress presents collections of weapons, uniforms, and documents illustrating the military history of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Visitors can access both parts of the fortress complex through guided tours that explain the defensive architecture and military strategies of different periods.
The fortification successfully repelled a massive Ottoman army of 100,000 soldiers in 1594, establishing its reputation as an impregnable defensive structure.
