Beautiful Strongholds Free Screensaver

Beautiful Strongholds Free Screensaver is a lightweight screensaver app that will bring some of medieval Europe's beauty to your home screen.

They teach history in school so that we can learn from it because those who don't learn from it are destined to repeat it. Europe's been the birthplace of most of today's myths, legends, folktales and ballads, and for a good reason. From the green hills of Ireland to the powerful Norwegian fjords, history has been told and sharpened through countless wars.  Reliques of that past (which are not buried) are present in the form of old strongholds, castles, and fortresses and you can admire them through this neat software application.

Down to its basics, the app is nothing more than a screensaver that plays a slideshow of wallpapers of old strongholds, castles, and fortresses, but from the moment you see them, the sheer complexity of the pictures will make you forget about the app's simplicity.  Some of the settings that can be customized are image keep and transition time, and whether you want to built-in clock to be displayed in 12h or 24h formats.

During the setup process, you have to pay extra attention during the setup wizard as the app offers to change the homepage and change the default search engine for your web browsers, but also download and install software that the program does not require to fully function. Currently, with the rise of 4K monitors, this app doesn't quite meet quality standards anymore, as some of the wallpapers show signs of pixelations on monitors with a 1920 x 1080 resolution

Beautiful Strongholds Free Screensaver is a good application for anyone who wants to showcase their love for history, or just want to what Europeans were capable of building 200 to 300 years ago.
