Moscow Kremlin and Castello Sforzesco: Military Architecture Plans and Construction Comparison
The article comprises comparative analysis of the layout and architectural forms of two examples of military architecture, which were constructed almost simultaneously. The analysis reflects upon the widely established in literature opinion that Castello Sforzesco served as a model for the construction of the walls of the Moscow Kremlin. Acknowledging the Italian influence on the fortifications of the Moscow Kremlin in general, the author argues that the military character of architecture of these two particular architectural structures reveals more differences than similarity.
Keywords:
Moscow Kremlin, Castello Sforzesco, fortresses, castles, fortification, military architecture, Italian architects.
