When Erik Dahlberg took responsibility for Sweden's fortifications in 1676 he implemented Karl XI's wishes for modern bastions of high wall construction. The ramparts were lined with walls of blasted rock and the fortified town of Gothenburg developed with 13 polygonal bastions and accompanying moat, ravelins and 3 city gates (Kungsporten; Nya porten, later re-named Drottningporten; and Karlsporten/Hållgårdsporten).

  • When Erik Dahlberg took responsibility for Sweden's fortifications in 1676 he implemented Karl XI's wishes for modern bastions of high wall construction. The ramparts were lined with walls of blasted rock and the fortified town of Gothenburg developed with 13 polygonal bastions and accompanying moat, ravelins and 3 city gates (Kungsporten; Nya porten, later re-named Drottningporten; and Karlsporten/Hållgårdsporten). The demolition of the fortifications began in 1807, and was completed within 10 years. The only surviving piece of bastion is Carolus Rex, on the side of the Lilla Otterhällan hill.
