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.

The Lion is the symbol of the city of Belfort. All Belfort residents are proud of this pink sandstone colossus. The Citadel and the Lion of Belfort were voted the French people's favorite monument in 2020.

The lion is the largest stone statue in France. As a symbol and guardian of the city, it is also a visual landmark and even invites you to take a city safari. Info: https://www.belfort-tourisme.com/de/entdecken/die-highlights/der-loewe/
