In some places, ditches have evolved into more advanced defense systems, including natural and artificial lakes, dams, and canals. In a later period, the moat around the castle could only be for decoration. In any case, it is quite a beautiful sight, and if the building is surrounded by a moat, it means that it is important or expensive. Let's take a look at the 20 most beautiful moats in the world.
