Everything about Enceinte totally explained
Enceinte (
Lat. in, within, cinctus, girdled; to be distinguished from the word meaning
pregnant, from in, not, and cinctus,
for example with girdle loosened), is a
French term used technically in
fortification for the inner ring of fortifications surrounding a
town. Strictly, the term was applied to the continuous line of
bastions and curtains forming the body of the place, this last expression being often used as synonymous with
enceinte. However, the outworks close to the enceinte were not considered as forming part of it. In modern fortification, the enceinte is usually simply the innermost continuous line of fortifications. In architecture, generally, an enceinte is the close or precinct of a
cathedral,
abbey,
castle, etc.
