My house is my fortress!
This house, as it seems to me, fits this expression very well.
Its walls resemble fortress walls and its windows look like loopholes.
Meanwhile, ordinary people live in the house.
This is one of the old houses of St Petersburg.
If you walk through the courtyards of the old part of the city, you will surely meet similar fortresses.
Sometimes there are no windows at all :)
