The citadel was built in the second half of the 16th century and rebuilt in the 17th century by Jean Errard and later by Vauban. It contains elements of the old castle (11th and 13th centuries). On the city side, a crescent (by Vauban) protects the entrance and he also added a powder store and an arsenal.
