Concentric Castle




Concentric castles were introduced into Europe in the late s at the enemy over the lower outer defences, and, should the enemy capture the outer defences, they would face another line of defence.

The Krak Des Chevaliers Crusader castle in Syria and Beaumaris Castle in Beaumaris are typical examples of this type of fortification.
