The fortresses of this era had a simpler, polygonal shape than the large star fortresses developed by the military engineer Vauban in the 17th century. Due to improvements in artillery, cities had become too vulnerable to long-range cannon attacks. The solution was to build a series of small fortresses in a ring around the city to be defended.
