Crenellated structures can be found all around the world, from London's City Gates to Warwick Castle in 1760. Even University College in Galway City, Republic of Ireland boasts crenellations on its walls. Allington Castle near Maidstone, Kent and Knole's Green Court West are also adorned with these distinctive architectural features. Traveling further afield, Jerusalem's Jaffa Gate proudly displays crenellations that have stood the test of time. Meanwhile, Doonagore Castle in Co Clare, Ireland offers a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean from its 16th-century tower house. Closer to home, St Mary's Church in Stone near Dartford showcases intricate crenellated details that add charm to its structure. Nelson's Tower in Forres is another example of this design element and was even documented during A Voyage Around Great Britain Undertaken between. Across the pond in Buffalo, New York State stands the impressive 74th Regiment Armory with its own crenellated facade. And let us not forget Hampton Court whose north-west view reveals stunning crenellations dating back centuries. Finally, journeying to Asia brings us to India where numerous buildings feature these unique battlements as part of their architecture. Crenellated structures truly span across continents and cultures alike - a testament to their enduring appeal throughout history.
