Vilnius Castle Complex The Vilnius Castle Complex (Lithuanian: "Vilniaus pilių kompleksas" or "Vilniaus pilys" ) is a group of cultural, and historic structures on the left bank of the Neris River, near its confluence with the Vilnia River, in Vilnius, Lithuania. The buildings, which evolved between the 10th and 18th centuries, were one of Lithuania's major defensive structures.
Fort Detroit Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit or Fort Detroit was a fort established on the west bank of the Detroit River by the French officer Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac in 1701. The site of the former fort, north of the Rouge River, is now within the city of Detroit in the U.S. state of Michigan, an area bounded by Larned Street, Griswold Street, and the Civic Center (now occupied by office towers). In the 18th century, French colonial settlements developed on both sides of the river, based on the fur trade, missions and farms.
