Parc de la Citadelle, Urban park in Strasbourg, France
The green space extends across 11 hectares, featuring shaded pathways that wind along water-filled moats and through gardens with mature trees.
The park occupies the grounds of a former military fortress constructed by Vauban in 1681, which fell during the siege of Strasbourg in 1870.
The park maintains several original citadel elements, including a rescue door, escarpment wall, and two bastions that represent French military engineering.
Visitors reach the park via Tram C or E at Esplanade station or Bus 30 at Ankara stop, with multiple entrances providing access to different areas.
The water-filled moats now serve as habitats for ducks and turtles, while an aquatic playground offers recreational activities for children.
