Tour de la Miotte, Belfort, France
Tour de la Miotte, an observation tower built 1840 at the Fort de la Miotte, or Fort Kleber, built 1831-35 by Haxo on the Miotte Hill, at Belfort, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The tower was destroyed in the Siege of Belfort in 1870-71 and again in 1940, but rebuilt each time. The fort defends the road to Colmar and forms part of the Belfort fortifications outside the citadel. Picture by Manuel Cohen
