Fort d'Ivry, Military fortification in Ivry-sur-Seine, France
The pentagonal fort features five bastions, stone construction, and extensive underground passages extending over two kilometers beneath its structure.
Built between 1841 and 1846 during Louis-Philippe's reign, the fort formed part of Paris's defensive ring designed by Adolphe Thiers against potential invasions.
The fort walls contain historical inscriptions, including Republican slogans from 1848 insurgents and anchor engravings made by sailors in 1870.
The facility now houses the Communication and Audiovisual Production Company for the Department of Defense, storing French military archives since 1900.
The fort's underground quarries provided construction materials for Paris during the 18th and 19th centuries, leaving behind a network of marked pathways.
