Battle of Maclodio The Battle of Maclodio was fought on 11 October 1427 , resulting in a victory for the Venetians under Carmagnola over the Milanese under Carlo I Malatesta . The battle was fought at Maclodio ( or Macalo ) a small town near the River Oglio , fifteen kilometres ( nine miles ) south - west of Brescia . This battle , fought during the second campaign , was the only decisive victory for Venice in the Wars in Lombardy . This battle forced the Milanese into a treaty , conceding Brescia in 1428 , though fighting of the wars in Lombardy was to resume later , continuing until the Treaty of Lodi in 1454 . The war began with a pact between Venice and Florence to oppose Filippo Maria Visconti , Duke of Milan , and his territorial ambitions . The Venetian commander for the battle , Carmagnola , had recently been under the employ of Milan but defected to Venice when Filippo Maria gave him governorship of Genoa rather than further military duty in an attempt to lessen his power . The doge of Venice , Francesco Foscari , was seriously considering helping Florence in their conflict against Milan , and Carmagnola spurred this on , persuading the doge to name him general in a new war against Milan . Carmagnola quickly took Brescia for Venice , then made sure he campaigned very slowly , doing very little for a long time , forcing Venice to pay incredible amounts in upkeep for the almost useless army . Eventually the public was starting to catch on to this , so Carmagnola decided he needed another big victory to keep in command . He finally moved into enemy territory and met the army of Filippo Maria , under Carlo Malatesta , at Maclodio . The town itself was virtually destroyed in the battle , and the result was a decisive victory for Venice . Carmagnola was heavily praised and rewarded , being given a palace at San Stae that used to be the property of the Malatesta family , a fief in Bresciano , and a letter of appreciation from the doge . Public opinion of Carmagnola quickly soured again , however , as he released all 8 , 000 prisoners captured and decided not to advance on the defenceless Cremona . He then retired his army for the winter against Venetian wishes . A short truce was offered by Milan , eventually granted by Venice on 19 April 1428 , on the condition that Milan cede Bergamo and the surrounding area to them . This was the largest permanent land holdings that Venice would have for the rest of its history . The Wars in Lombardy resumed two years later .
Fort Largs Police Academy Fort Largs is historic defence facility in the seaside suburb of Taperoo near Port Adelaide , approximately north west of Adelaide ' s centre . Today Fort Largs survives in slightly modified condition from its original state , but its underground tunnels , gun emplacements and storage areas are still largely original . A small part of the original fort was adapted for use by the nearby South Australia Police academy which was known as Fort Largs Police Academy , the main training facility for South Australia Police . However the old Academy has been disused since 2011 and is awaiting re - development by Renewal SA , as a new Police Academy has been built further east . History . In the late 1800s , visits of Russian ships in South Australian waters were of a friendly nature , but the Russo - Turkish War of 1877 – 1878 was seen by Britain as part of a potential expansion plan by the Russian Empire into India , and the Australian colonies were advised to upgrade their defence capabilities . The inadequacy of defences in the colony was seen in 1862 , when the " Svetlana " sailed into Port Phillip Bay ( Melbourne ) and the fort built had no gunpowder for its cannons to use to return a salute . William Jervois , a Royal Engineer , was commissioned to determine the defence capabilities of all colonies , with the exception of Western Australia . In his report , he was convinced that the Russian Empire would attack South Australian shipping in an attempt to destroy the local economy . As a result of Jervois ' report , Fort Glanville and Fort Largs were built to protect Port Adelaide . Lieutenant Colonel Peter Scratchley was primarily responsible for the design of both Fort Largs and its nearby precursor Fort Glanville . Work began in 1882 on what was first known as the Port Adelaide battery , to the same specification as Fort Glanville . Its barracks and rear defence wall were finished in 1885 . Emphasis for defence of the Adelaide coast had shifted to Fort Largs by 1888 . In 1889 , Fort Largs was equipped with two 6 - inch breach - loading disappearing guns which outranged Glanville ' s armament . Due to this and changes in the Port River and shipping movements , Fort Largs had surpassed Fort Glanville in strategic importance by 1890 .
Château de Bar sur Seine The remains of the Château de Bar - sur - Seine are the ruins of a medieval French fortified castle , destroyed in the 16th century . The site is in the town of Bar - sur - Seine in the Aube " département .

At the time , the Château de Bar sur Seine was considered the most important in Burgundy . Its architecture is close in style to that of the Château de Peyrepertuse in Aude . Brief chronology . The Château de Bar sur Seine is a " monument historique " listed by the French Ministry of Culture . See also . List of castles in France
