Οχυρά και ακροπόλεις στο Αφγανιστάν

Fortresses & Citadels

Afghanistan's strategic position at the crossroads of Central and South Asia is preserved in its formidable fortifications. This collection features massive defensive structures ranging from the ancient foundations of Baktra to the Timurid-era Herat Citadel. These sites showcase diverse architectural styles, including mud-brick ramparts, medieval towers, and the royal administrative complex of the Arg. Together, they document the military and political history of dynasties from the time of Alexander the Great through the Ghaznavid and Durrani empires.
