Buda castle after world war II.
The original castle was built at 1243 after the mongolian conquest. It has been reconstructed like countless times in history.

I heard there was a ruined 16th century Spanish fort in America, although other sources claim it was a Napoleonic Martello Tower

These are all great photos of historical architecture. Too bad there is nothing like these where I live currently. However, North American architecture is different from European so if there were castles, they would not look like these.

I like this thread. The only castle that I like here in my country (Finland) is Raseborgs slott (Raseborg Castle). It is now a restorated ruin.

Boy oh boy, have I enjoyed the posts above! It is wonderful!
The USA, has some forts, but they were mostly never tested in real battles. Thus I must resort to posting some fortresses in Europe. But forgive me, I know not how to transport photos to this site, so I will have to but give you the internet addresses.
I would suggest that all of you look up certain word searches, that include "fortress", "Vauban", etc.
So, I will mostly leave you to your own devices and search engines.

There seems to be no castle in China, maybe the Forbidden City?

The link will take you to images of the Hearst Castle in California, USA. It is not old compared to everyone else's castles, and it was not needed for defense. But it is a good example of what money can buy when you have enough of it.

And here is a castle in Oregon, only a few miles from where I live.
