 Akershus Festning (Akershus Fortress)
The work on turning Akershus Castle into a bastion-fortress complete with ramparts and mouts began during the 1580s, and continued at full speed into the beginning of the 17th Century.
Largely for defensive reasons, the town of Oslo was moved closer to the fortress in 1624, thereby changing the functions of the fortress to that of a citadel on the Italian model, with city and fortress as one unit, with the same outer wall.
Akershus Castle itself was rebuilt into a renaissance castle.
