Fort de Saint-Père

Fort Saint-Père, 35430, Saint-Père-Marc-en-Poulet

Ille-et-Vilaine
Bretagne

An architecture deserving of Vauban: The Fort is built in Vauban in the shape of irregular quadrilateral with salient bastions in angles. 19 hectares of area between the inside and the outside(exterior) of the Fort and 1.7 km of external tour(ballot) and staves(moats). The powder keg is the undoubtedly biggest(undoubtedly greatest) of Europe with 342 m2 on the ground indoors, and 621 m2 outside. The arsenal of more modest proportions was planned(provided for) to store less dangerous materials.
