Fortified region of Belfort information


The Lion of Belfort, symbolic of the defense of Belfort in 1870–71, with the citadel behind

The fortified region of Belfort (place fortifiée de Belfort) formed the first line of defense in the Séré de Rivières system of fortifications in the Belfort Gap. Located in northeastern France between Épinal and Besançon, the primary line was built in the late 19th century to deal with advances in artillery that had made older defensive systems obsolete.
