Namur - Citadelle
|
|
The citadel above the town, one of the mightiest fortresses of Europe, can look back on a history of 2,000 years. As early as Roman times the rocky outcrop between the Sambre and the Meuse was fortified, and the Counts of Namur chose this as the site for their castle. The extension of the citadel began in the 15th C. with subterranean defense passages which were completed in the 17th and 18th C. by Vauban and the Dutchman Coehoorn.
