Ok, I checked the defense of the province and it is listed as "0". It does have more resources than other provinces (51) but that's about it. Is there any advantage other than the increased resources? I don't seem to be able to recruit anything else. Should I not build another fortress here?

Provincial Defense is not the same as castle defense. Provincial Defense, or PD for short, represents local militias/troops that will patrol said province for foreign scouts, and other stealthy units such as spies. They also double as defenders when the province gets invaded.

The advantage of having PD is that you don't need to pay upkeeps nor resources, just need initial investments. The downside is that they are generally weak, so they are more of arrow fodder row when invaded by substantial forces. In case you don't know how to invest in PD, press 'D' or click on defense to bring up the dialogue screen for adjustment.

To check for a castle's defense, right click on the said building (e.g. Wizard Tower, Mountain Fortress, etc) on the list on the bottom right of the screen when the province is selected.
