The Citadel of Belfort is a historically complex building, reflecting five centuries of fortifications. It was built after the conquest of the city in 1687, replacing a medieval castle that previously stood on this rocky outcrop.

impressive Vauban work , free access except for the museum

Beautiful sculpture and coat of arms of Belfort, below the fortress.

Impressive complex with the lion towering over it. Well-paved paths lead through the complex. From the top you have a great view of the city of Belfort. At night the lion and the fortress are illuminated. Simply beautiful.

The opening times are published online and it's worth investing the €4 for entry. The complex is huge, although not all rooms are accessible. We visited without a guide, but were provided with detailed information material - in German! A very interesting complex that is maintained by a club. Respect!!!

This fort was built between 1875 and 1879. The fort forms the southern end of the defensive curtain of the Haute Moselle region, adjoining the fortified region of Belfort, which extends to the south. The fort was built as part of the French Séré de Rivières system of fortifications to defend France against a recurrence of the Prussian invasion of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871. The fort was one of the most heavily armed forts in the northeast during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Entrance 3€/pers. (free for accompanied children under 12). OPENING EVERY SUNDAY and public holidays from July 3 to September 18 (inclusive): from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (entrances close at 5:15 p.m.) Possibility of guided tour from April to October (Reservation required).

It is a monumental sculpture from 1880 created by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty. Completed in 1880, it is entirely made of red sandstone. The blocks that make it up were sculpted individually, then moved to the cliff below Belfort Castle to be assembled there. Twenty-two meters long and 11 meters high, the colossal work dominates the local landscape.

imposing large fortress with a great view of the city and the surrounding area. Visiting the entire complex without the museums is free.
