Contraportada:

In Europe, it is common to see walled cities and huge castles that were once important fortifications. Fortifications are defenses, such as banked-up earth, rough logs, or thick stone, that make something strong. The first Europeans to settle in North America brought the tradition of building fortifications with them.
