A citadel located in Calais where you can see the moats and curtain walls, the Porte de Boulogne and the Porte de la Ville.
After the reconquest of Calais, in 1558, the old medieval castle was razed and a vast citadel better adapted to the needs of war was built from 1560 to 1571, with the help of Vauban. The Citadel became Spanish from 1596 to 1598 and served as the official residence of the governors until 1636. It was the center of the city's resistance during the German invasion of May 1940 and was forced to surrender after a 36-hour siege. You can still see the moats and curtains, the Porte de Boulogne and the Porte de la Ville or the Hermitage!
