Like I said, the code tells me a fortress has _no_effect_ in a city, so it 
is a waste of time unless you want to change this behavior.  Furthermore, a 
city already enjoys a defense bonus of 1.5, and in Civ2 you can't build 
fortresses in cities at all.  But I agree this could be an interesting idea.
BTW, fortifying inside a city has no effect either:

504 if ((defender->activity == ACTIVITY_FORTIFIED ||
505      map_get_city(defender->x, defender->y)) &&
506     is_ground_unit(defender))
507   defensepower*=1.5;
