Fort Dugommier, Military fort in Collioure, France
The fort stands at an elevation of 204.7 meters on a ridge overlooking the Mediterranean towns of Collioure and Port-Vendres in southern France.
Built between 1844 and 1893 on the site of an earlier dry stone redoubt, the fort was named after General Jacques François Dugommier of the French Revolutionary Wars.
The fortress now hosts annual concerts and exhibitions that connect visitors with the regional military heritage of Pyrénées-Orientales department.
Volunteer restoration projects through the REMPART association allow participants to contribute to the preservation of this historical monument while learning traditional construction techniques.
The fort features a stone-covered glacis and an extensive network of underground cisterns designed to collect rainwater, enabling troops to withstand extended sieges.
