As a result, one of the largest fortification systems in Europe was built at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine, consisting of the town fortifications of Koblenz and Ehrenbreitstein as well as five large systems with numerous forts, redoubts and fortifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Today, some of the imposing fortifications are still preserved and have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site \"Upper Middle Rhine Valley\" since 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Visitors young and old are offered an exciting range of experiences and events within the historic walls. Discover Fort Konstantin and the Kaiser Franz Fortress with FORTE CULTURA.
