	Plymouth Barbican
		Plymouth has played a prominent part in the defence of the realm for over a thousand years and in the Royal Citadel on the Hoe it has the finest seventeenth-century fortification in continuous military occupation in the whole of Europe.
		Plymouth was under siege from the Royalist forces for much of that conflict (for almost three years) and was the only town of any great size to successfully resist the Cavalier pressure and consequently Cromwell was given a hero’s reception when he came here in March 1644.
		Plymouth’s second parish church, Charles, was left in a similar condition after the Blitz, however in this instance the decision was taken not to rebuild, but rather to leave the structure as it was, as a graphic memorial to the destruction and to the 1200 local civilians who lost their lives during the war.
