The Citadel of Piacenza

pcz_the_citadel

Our city's position at the crossing of the Po has made it one of the most contested strategic prizes in northern Italy, and we have responded by investing in a fortification worthy of the target we represent. The citadel we build is not merely a refuge for a garrison but a self-sufficient fortress capable of sustaining a siege while the city outside it negotiates its own terms, a design that forces any attacker to reckon with a layered defense rather than a single wall. This Cittadella makes Piacenza expensive to take and expensive to hold against us, reducing the willingness of larger powers to treat our city as something that can be absorbed by a single campaign.
