So, I've found a city with the funny graphic that I think is a historical city, and a fortress, both owned by neutrals. Do you capture the historical city like a regular one? Whats the benefit to doing it? It's full of neutral units. And how hard is it to take a fortress? Does that count as a city too?

Yes, though the historical city is like a regular city (I believe, in that you need 24 hours to capture it) and the fortress are trickier in a sense that mobs will spawn while you are capturing, though the rules/times are different (look those up).
historical city = more resources/hour being extracted
fortress = you can tax everyone in the valley or region (server dependant), or speed up trade campaign speeds and better the free resources exchange rate.
Not hard if you bring the correct troops and "meat" type troops. And it helps when no one else shows up to kill you.
historical cities = yes
fortresses = no
Hope that helps, if I posted an error (I have never had the please of attempting a historical city seige), someone correct me please

Just a note, but each historical city has two of three bonuses, except for capitals which have all three. Increased resource extraction rate (50% more), bonus mercenary points (one thousand), or bonus population in the city (one thousand).
