More information on Citadelle
Following the siege of 1622, the city of Montpellier conceded to the demand of the new governor of the city to construct this vast fortress in which to accommodate his troops. Situated on a rise just outside the old walls, the citadel dominated the city and was a guarantee of royal power over Montpellier. The citadel served as a barracks and a prison, but since 1955 the site has been occupied by the Lycée Joffre. A part of the outer fortifications are still visible today. The site is accessible via the bridges from the Jardin des Champs de Mars or by the Rue d'Argencourt which turns off from Avenue Jean Mermoz. Admission: Free
