    Citadel Belfort is a fortification built in 1687 according to Vauban's plans in the French city of Belfort. In 1870/71 she played an important role in the siege of Belfort, one of the last major battles of the Franco-Prussian War.
    The citadel was built with a view of the city on a rocky outcrop east of the old town. In addition to the fortifications and the trenches, on the west flank of the barracks it also contains the lion of Belfort, which was created by Bartholdi in 1880 and is considered the symbol of the city. The citadel has been classified as a Monument historique since October 23, 1907.
