In pariete



Tabula
Belfort sits in the Belfort Gap, the low corridor between the Vosges and the Jura that has served for centuries as a route between the Rhine and the Rhône. The Savoureuse river runs north to south through the city. On its east bank the compact old town lies at the foot of a rocky outcrop crowned by the citadel.
The fortifications were reworked by Vauban, and the city is famous for resisting a long siege in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to 1871. That siege is commemorated by the Lion of Belfort, a huge red sandstone sculpture by Bartholdi carved into the cliff below the citadel. Its outline faces the city.
A Belfort map poster shows the full layering of the city: the angular bastions and star-shaped outworks around the citadel, the tight old streets beneath them, and the wider nineteenth-century and modern districts spreading west of the river. Few mid-sized French cities show their military past this clearly from above.
The citadel on its rock is surrounded by angular walls, ditches and outworks. On the poster they form sharp geometric shapes that stand out against the ordinary street grid.
The river runs through the middle of Belfort, dividing the fortified old town on the east from the larger districts that grew up on the west bank.
Bartholdi's lion, carved into the sandstone below the citadel, commemorates the 1870 to 1871 siege. It sits right where the fortress meets the old town.

Cur Belfort
Belfort appeals to people from Franche-Comté and Alsace, to students and engineers who have worked in the city, and to anyone who loves military architecture. The star-shaped defences make it one of the most striking French maps at any size.
