大垣城
Ōgaki Castle
大垣 · 日本
大垣城坐落在岐阜县大垣市,是一座平地城。它最初由当地武士家族宫川氏在此修筑,并称“牛屋城”。这里临近揖斐川与杭濑川,也扼守连接美浓、近江和京都的关原通道,因此在战国时代成为争夺之地。丰臣秀吉看中它的战略位置,先后派遣多名亲信将领驻守;城的中心虽小,却由与河流相连的多重水堀环绕,形成广阔而坚固的防御范围。引句:“A fortification was originally erected on this site by the Miyagawa clan, a local samurai clan, who called it "Ushiya Castle".”;“The central area of the castle was small, but it was encircled by multiple layer of water moats connected to the river, which gave the castle a large total area.”
1600年,石田三成试图以大垣城作为防线,然而局势迅速转向关原。伊藤盛正出城支援石田,兵败后不久,城在一次小规模冲突后落入德川军之手。江户时代,户田氏自1635年起统治大垣,修缮城池,留下四层天守、角橹与四重堀。城的历史价值曾使天守与橹在1936年被指定为国宝,但1945年7月29日的空袭将它们全部焚毁。1959年,人们依据旧图纸和照片重建天守与两座橹;如今,天守作为博物馆延续着这段记忆。2017年,大垣城入选续日本100名城。引句:“The castle fell to Tokugawa forces after a small skirmish shortly after the battle.”;“After World War II, the tenshu and two of the yagura were reconstructed based on old drawings and photographs in 1959, albeit in modern reinforced concrete.”
