- Belfort Citadel. The Belfort Gap was seen as a chink in eastern France’s armour for almost a 1,000 years and has been heavily fortified since the 13th century.
- Lion of Belfort. In an epic position on a ledge beneath bluffs and a section of the citadel walls is the redoubtable statue of a lion. This was made in 1880 by Frédéric Bartholdi and commemorates the siege of Belfort during the Franco-Prussian War, when the city held out for 103 days despite a big disadvantage in manpower.
- Ring of Fortifications. Amid rising tensions with neighbouring Prussia in the 1800s, a succession of French kings and then the Third Republic tried to shore up the Belfort Gap.
- Musée d’Histoire et d’Archéologie. In the citadel’s old barracks is a museum covering thousands of years of history in the Belfort area. It began in 1872, after work at a local fort unearthed Neolithic artefacts.
