Summary/Abstract: Always fortifications were a very important element of a town's landscape planning and development. The theory of town planning was described in the handbooks of military engineering and planning of fortifications. Nowadays the researches of fortifications are closely related with sciences of military engineering, architecture, art history, and economics. However, such researches have been rarely combined with the aesthetics and philosophy, with the conceptions of light, color and water. As the philosophers and culture researchers perceive the fortresses as an integrated part of the city culture nowadays, this article will delineate some non-typical views of these military objects.
