Star Forts of the World

This is a side-project of #FortressEarth (which is trying to map every fort and castle visible via satellite). This has 1,238 star forts, associated "star-like" polygonal forts, and "star cities". As far as I can tell, this is 95%+ of all star forts in the world. 

Fortified "star city" Lucca, Italy

Version 2 of "Star Forts Around the World" is ready. It has 1,399 forts (an increase of 161 forts since Version 1 above). The forts are spread throughout 94 countries (up from 88) of the world. To learn more about the project, visit www.jacobbogle.com/fortress-earth.html

One of the new forts in the file is the impressive (and quite beautiful) Arad Fortress in Romania



Another is Fort Ligoner in the USA

A lot of these places you have created placemarks, have already been tagged.
And are viewed in the Old GEC. Enabled Google Earth Community layer to see that (i) is already there.

Although many may have been marked in the oGEC, this project is a great piece of work by JacobBogle. We welcome the post.

Thanks

ET_Explorer, you are correct that many have been marked, although there are hundreds that haven't been. Additionally, none of the old GEC placemarks are part of a single star-fort specific project, which is what I aimed to do. I just wanted to provide a single place where people interested in the topic can find them all (or at least the vast majority) without having to spend large amounts of time tracking them down.

Nice work! You can find similar star fort map in this russian site: digitall-angell.livejournal.com/854051.html
