The starfort first appeared in Italy at the end of the 15th century.
Medieval-era fortifications tended to be ring-shaped, which not only allowed
attackers relative safety when they got close to its walls, but were vulnerable
to the new technology of artillery.

The design of the starfort did away with "dead zones," or areas in which an
attacker cannot be brought under fire, by the use of triangular bastions which
command all approaches. The starfort concept was adopted by nearly every
European nation and in the New World from the 16th through 19th centuries.
Starforts.com exists because starforts are really cool! Their symmetric beauty
and historic nature make them absolutely fascinating.

The mission of Starforts.com was initially to be the definitive list of all the
world's starforts...and while I would suggest that this site does boast a pretty
impressive list, listing every single starfort is likely an impossible task,
because one thing that I've learned over ten years of researching them is that
starforts are everywhere! There are probably just as many used-to-be-starforts
as there are starforts that we can see on Google Maps (or in person) today...the
Quondam Starforts section of this site lists a few of them.
