Fort d'Issy, Military fortification in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France.
The fort features high stone walls, strategic vantage points, and large interior spaces designed for garrison accommodation and defense operations.
Built between 1841 and 1845 under Prime Minister Adolphe Thiers, the fort formed part of Paris's southern defensive network with five other fortifications.
The fort has transformed from a military installation into an eco-district that includes residential spaces, community facilities, and educational centers.
The current eco-district spans 12 hectares and contains 1,600 residential units, housing approximately 3,500 residents with modern amenities.
During the Paris Commune of 1871, the fort served as a strategic position, leading to intense conflicts that left physical reminders including a sculpture made from recovered shells.
