Charles Fort in Kinsale, Ireland, is a star-shaped military fortress that dates back to the late 17th century. It was constructed between 1677 and 1682 under the reign of King Charles II, and its design was influenced by the principles of star fortification, which provided improved defense against artillery. The fort played a significant role in various historical conflicts, including the Williamite War in Ireland.
