Title A name given to the resource Military Complex, Port Arthur, Tasmania Subject The topic of the resource Castle, Charles Oâ€™Hara Booth, convict, crenellation, Guard Tower, Military Complex, parapet, Point Puer, Port Arthur, Tas, Tasmania, tower. Description An account of the resource The Military Complex at the penal colony of Port Arthur, Tasmania, is situated in a prominent position overlooking the harbour. It is the third military complex on the site and was built in 1847, with the central tower built in 1836. Both were built during the rule of Commandant Charles O’Hara Booth (1800-1851) and they are situated next to the Commandant’s House which was built for him. The complex was built with convict labour, and the stones of the central tower were shaped by the boys at the nearby Point Puer Juvenile Establishment. No doubt in part due to practical considerations, the Military Complex resembles a medieval castle, with the central round Guard Tower flanked by two smaller round towers, all of which are topped by crenelated parapets. The towers are separated by a strong stone wall.

Designed by American architect John Eberson in conjunction with Melbourne firm Bohringer, Taylor & Johnson, The Forum was originally built as a cinema palace. Completed in 1928, it is one of four cinemas that opened in Melbourne in the 1920s. The exterior of the building combines Spanish Mission and â€˜Alhambresqueâ€™ Moorish Revival architecture. The minarets, cupolaâ€™s and pressed cement decorations are reminiscent of Islamic Spanish architecture dating from the eighth to the fifteenth century. The Iberian Peninsula was conquered in 711 by the Muslim army of Tariq ibn Ziyad, and the various southern Spanish States remained under Arab or Moorish Islamic rule until they were gradually reconquered by Catholic monarchs throughout the later medieval period. The reconquest ended with the conversion of Andalusia in 1492.
