Kaponieris
Kaponierius. (pranc. caponnière – niša) priešais gynybinę poziciją esantis inžinerinis statinys, užtikrinantis šono ugnies perdavimą dviem priešingomis kryptimis. Tvirtovėse kaponierius leidžia šaudyti per visą gynybinio griovio ilgį. Šio tipo kaponieriai tvirtovės statyboje naudojami nuo XVII a. Ryškiausias pavyzdys Latvijoje – Daugpilio tvirtovė.
Šiuolaikinėse (XX a.) sausumos pajėgose – teritorija, aptverta žeminiais pylimais, siekiant apsaugoti kovinę įrangą ir personalą nuo sprogimo smūgio bangos nešamų skeveldrų (taip pat nuo radiacijos branduolinio sprogimo metu). Pylimo kaponierius papildomai maskuojamas tinklais, krūmais ir kt.

Daugpilio tvirtovė
Daugpilio tvirtovė – valstybinės reikšmės architektūros ir kul tūros istorijos paminklas. Tai paskutinė pasaulyje pastatyta bastioninio tipo tvirtovė ir vienintelis Vidurio Europoje išlikęs XIX a. pirmosios pusės tvirtovės pavyzdys, išlikęs be didesnių pokyčių. Tvirtovės statyba pradėta 1810 m., carinei Rusijai rengian tis Napoleono kariuomenės įsiveržimui, ir truko iki 1878 m. Dar nebaigus statybos, 1812 m., prie tvirtovės vyko rusų ir prancūzų karių mūšiai. Nors po Napoleono karų statybos buvo tęsiamos, jau tuomet tvirtovė ėmė prarasti savo ka rinę reikšmę. Pirmojo pasaulinio karo metais (1915–1918) tvirtovė buvo Rusijos kariuomenės logistikos ir palaikymo bazė. 1918 m.
vasarį ją užėmė vokiečių kariuomenė, o gruodį – bolševikai. 1920 m. sausį tvirtovę užėmė lenkų kariai, padėję Latvijos kariuomenei išlaisvinti Latgalą nuo bolševikų. Tarpukariu, 1920–1940 m., tvirtovėje buvo dislokuota Latvijos kariuome nės 4-oji Žiemgalos divizija. 1940 m. okupavus Latviją, tvirtovėje įsikūrė Raudonosios ar mijos daliniai, o vokiečių okupacijos metais čia buvo karo belaisvių stovykla „Stalag-340“. Po 1944 m. sovietų sugrįžimo tvirtovė vėl atiteko sovietinei armijai. Latvija tvirtovę atgavo tik 1993 m., kai iš jos pasitraukė Rusijos kariuomenė.
Daugavgrīva Fortress
Daugavgrīva Fortress (entry from Birzes street) is located on the Daugavgrīva Island where Buļļupe river joins the Daugava river. The fortress was built in the 17th century to defend from enemies moving in the direction of Riga, which was an important administrative, trade and production centre. Later it became the main fortification of the Latvian Army coastal defence with several support points. This defensive fortification system is one of the most valuable objects of Latvia's military heritage. This fortress has witnessed Latvian military history. For example, during the Crimean War (1853-1856) Latvian and Estonian gunboat crews were trained here. The main objective of these units was to protect local ports and the coast from attacks by the British navy. During World War I Daugavgrīva militiamen companies were formed here. These were the first Latvian combat units, which came even before the Latvian Riflemen. Nowadays it is possible to see the territory of the fortress. ‘Komētforts’ and the Seaside Nature Park are located nearby and Mangaļsala fortifications are on the other side of the Daugava river.

This unique forest park, shrouded in secrets and legends, was created at the end of the 19th century as the Aizvīkai Manor Park, when the baron of the manor von Korff covered the nearby hilly land with a pine and spruce forest. Later, walking paths were laid on the 40 ha area, trees of other species were also planted and a pheasant garden was established.
