An old fortress from the air

From the air, a large fortress of angled earth ramparts faced with masonry: dry ditches, casemates with vaulted doorways, a road winding between the walls, low buildings in the courts and a row of trees along one rampart, woods at the edges. The older catalogue assigns the view to the Maginot Line; the angled bastions resemble rather an older fortress of the 19th century, of the kind that still stood along the borders of France and Belgium.
