Arras Citadel

Highlight • Castle

The citadel of Arras is a unique site in France. Built by Vauban in the 17th century, it retains an exceptional heritage from its 3 centuries of military history. Demilitarized and inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008, it is today a "small town within a city" rich in remarkable historic buildings, green walking paths and leisure activities.

The Citadel

Highlight • Historical Site

This octagonal citadel was built between 1668 and 1672 to a design by Vauban and consists of 5 bastions. Since 2008, the citadel has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List as one of the 12 major fortifications built by Vauban in France. When Louis XIV ordered its construction, it was not intended to protect the city against the Spaniards, but to supervise the inhabitants of Arras. The citadel was therefore nicknamed "La Belle inutile". Now a regiment is stationed here.
