peer agreement (net): +7Bastia (It), bastion Explanation: Bastia, the administrative centre for Haute-Corse, the northern half of the island, hangs over the water. Its name comes from the Italian for a bastion, or fort, and from the sea the port is still impressive. Once ashore, the Vieux-Port (old port) looks like a film set for a Mediterranean port, frayed at the edges but reeking of ambience, tobacco and olive oil. Bastion: A work projecting from the curtain wall of a fortification which commanded the foreground and the outworks. Designed to provide flanking fire to adjacent curtains and bastion. Bastion has been used to refer to the flanking towers of a castle as well as the arrow headed bastions of the Italian bastion trace. See arrow headed bastion, curtain tower, mural tower. (L. bastia, build). http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/jsp/mag3/art20020... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-22 14:38:34 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Syn. - fortress, stronghold, fort, bulwork, citadel In this case probably \"bulwark\" or \"rampart\" would do : (bulwark - a wall of earth or other material built for defense; rampart - a broad elevation or mound of earth raised as a fortification around a place and usually capped with a stone or earth parapet) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-22 14:47:42 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Syn. - fortress, stronghold, fort, bulwork, citadel In this case probably \"bulwark\" or \"rampart\" would do : (bulwark - a wall of earth or other material built for defense; rampart - a broad elevation or mound of earth raised as a fortification around a place and usually capped with a stone or earth parapet) Reference: http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/jsp/mag3/art20020...
