Elizabeth Fort – Map – 1866

Elizabeth Fort is a 17th-century star fort off Barrack Street in Cork, Ireland. Originally built as a defensive fortification on high-ground outside the city walls, the city eventually grew around the fort, and it took on various other roles – including use as a military barracks, prison, and police station.^[2] As of January 2014, the fort is under development as a tourism heritage site.^[3]
