Citadel Pasture

Highlight • Historical Site

This historical monument, under the control of the Ministry of Defense, is the Citadel of Lille and the Museum of the Sedentary Artillerymen. It is called the Queen of Citadels, built by Vauban in 1670. The building is in the shape of a regular pentagon, reinforced by powerful bastions, within which the buildings are arranged in a star shape to form a large central courtyard.
Around it and open to the public at all times is a beautiful park (with a zoo and a playground), but if you stay on the path, you walk along this star.
