Ancient forts of Kaliningrad

Königsberg began with a castle for protection from the rebels and quickly turned into a fortress city, becoming more powerful every year.
By the end of the 19th century, it had become a non-criminal city, a first-class fortress. Hitler thought he could not be captured, but Königsberg fell to the Red Army.
Now to know Königsberg is almost impossible, but even after so many years you feel the former power of bastions, forts, towers, gates and other fortifications.
You will learn the history of the fortress city, see the bastions and towers that protected the city center and visit two of the forts of Königsberg.
