Portuguese Fort of Hormuz, Iran. The Hormuz
Fortress is located in an area 125 meters on each side, with four 12-meter towers at its
four corners. Its style is that of the European fortresses of the medieval ages inspired
by the Iranian architecture. A substantial part of the Portuguese fort still exist, its
walls and towers, although damaged, are still impressive, in particular the underground
water cisterns.
