About
During a crucial period of the Italian Risorgimento, one of the best-preserved contemporary strongholds played a significant role.
The Cittadella is a large fort in the city of Alessandria in Piedmont, Northern Italy. It is currently one of the best-preserved fortresses designed in the modern era. The construction of the star fort of Alessandria began in the early 18th-century, when, after the War of the Spanish Succession, the House of Savoy took control of the city.
