Turkish Bastion, Historic Centre, Krupina

The main fortifications around the town were built in 1551–1564. Several architects improved them during the 16th century, notably the imperial architect Julius Ferrari. The Turkish Bastion is one of the four corner bastions that formed part of Krupina's town fortifications.

Krupina sa začala formovať po príchode nemeckých kolonistov v 13. storočí. Stredoveké mesto sa sústredilo okolo románskeho nemeckého kostola Narodenia Panny Márie a postupne sa vyvinulo hlavné námestie a predmestie. Na hlavnom, dnes Svätotrojičnom námestí, sa sústreďovali domy najbohatších krupinských mešťanov, neskôr i radnica a konávali sa tu týždenné trhy a výročné jarmoky. Na predmestí (Malý rínok a priľahlé ulice) sa sústredili domy slovenských obyvateľov mesta.
