Citadel of Namur, Medieval fortress at confluence of Sambre and Meuse rivers, Namur, Belgium
The citadel stands at 190 meters above sea level, featuring extensive fortifications with defensive walls extending across a rocky promontory overlooking the city.
The site originated as a Roman fortification, with major enhancements by engineers Menno van Coehoorn and Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban following the 1692 siege.
The Terra Nova Visitor Centre, located in former military barracks, presents exhibitions about urban development and military architecture through the centuries.
Visitors can explore 500 meters of underground passages through guided tours, climbing 350 steps in temperatures between 12 and 14 degrees Celsius.
The former artillery workshop transformed into a perfume production facility in the 1990s, where craftsman Guy Delforge creates fragrances.
