Orillon, curtain and ditch of the Citadel

This photograph captures the orillon, curtain wall, and defensive ditch of the historic Citadel. The robust limestone walls, partially veiled by overgrown vegetation, highlight the fortress's strategic design and its integration with the natural landscape. The orillon, a rounded bastion feature, exemplifies advanced fortification techniques of the time, offering protection against artillery fire.
