Designed by Francesco Chiaramella de Gandino, the Spandau Citadel is a significant example of High Renaissance fortifications in Europe. Built between 1559 and 1594, it encloses a medieval castle, preserving the keep and the great hall. Until the 19th century, it was also used as a prison for Prussian state prisoners.
