Denfert-Rochereau casemate, Citadelle de Belfort, France
Denfert-Rochereau casemate, a fortified armoured structure and gun emplacement at the Citadelle de Belfort, at Belfort, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. A castle was built in the 17th century by the Comte de la Suze to protect the Trouee de Belfort or Belfort Gap, and Vauban and Haxo added to the fortifications. In the 19th century the citadel formed part of the Sere de Rivieres system of French border defences. The citadel is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
