Fortress Josefov (Pevnost Josefov in Czech) is large defence complex built between 1780 - 1790 in eastern Bohemia (today Czech Republic). It was named after emperor Joseph II. Together with fortress Terezín it was intended as protection against attack from Prussia but it never actively participated in a war.
