Rosaburg
Rosaburg is one of two maritime fortresses, the other one being Lanserburg, in construction by the Confoederatio Aemilia, designed to defend the coastline and the territorial waters from hostile forces. In the case of Rosaburg, especially the bay in which Stadt Sankt Rosa is located. Construction of the fortress began on 12.I.1729 in secret as ten barges filled with rocks were sunk on the location to create a foundation for the fortress. The Aemilian Classis positioned two triremes in the area of the fortress to prevent shipping from disturbing the site. The first stage of construction is to create an artificial island that could withstand the forces of the sea, measuring 24 acres. This stage of the construction is expected to be finished in early 1730. Construction of the actual fortification will take place directly afterwards, bunkers will be made out of reinforced concrete. The site will be outfitted with radar, 350mm guns, anti-naval rockets and a landing site for rescue and attack helicopters. A small harbour will allow the Classis to moor at the fortress.
