Museum Zitadelle, Renaissance fortress museum in Jülich, Germany
The Museum Zitadelle occupies a 90,000 square meter fortress complex with a ducal palace, surrounded by walls, bastions, and casemates.
Italian architect Alessandro Pasqualini designed this Renaissance palace-fortress in the 16th century as residence for Duke William V of Jülich-Cleves-Berg.
The museum exhibits focus on three main periods: Roman settlement, Renaissance architecture, and Romantic landscape paintings by Johann Wilhelm Schirmer.
From April to October, visitors can explore the museum Monday through Friday from 14:00 to 17:00, and weekends from 11:00 to 18:00.
The Via Belgica Information Center reveals Jülich's origins as a road settlement along the Roman trade route from Cologne to Boulogne-sur-Mer.
