City walls of Brouage, Military fortifications in Marennes-Hiers-Brouage, France.
The ramparts form a quadrilateral perimeter of 2080 meters reinforced with eight bastions, each topped with three watchtowers.
The current walls were built between 1628 and 1633 under Cardinal Richelieu's orders to protect this strategic stronghold.
The fortress hosts permanent exhibitions about military history and salt trade in various buildings within the citadel.
The complete tour of the ramparts requires half a day and provides access to craft shops established within the fortified enclosure.
The exterior face of the ramparts is made of cut stone while the top is built with bricks to facilitate repairs after attacks.
