Monument des Trois Sièges de Belfort, Bronze monument at Place de la République, Belfort, France.

The Monument des Trois Sièges de Belfort stands on Place de la République: three bronze generals on white stone plinths surround a central pedestal, whose inscription reads "A LA MEMOIRE DU COMTE LEGRAND" and "1813-1814". Four brown sandstone columns, remnants of Vauban's fortifications, carry the upper section, and a wrought-iron fence with scrollwork encloses the base.

The monument was created between 1903 and 1913 and honors Jean Legrand, Claude Lecourbe, and Aristide Denfert-Rochereau. These three commanders defended the city during conflicts in 1813, 1815, and 1870.

The monument is sometimes nicknamed the "monument of the Three Liars" by Belfort residents: Legrand is not the tallest of the three, Lecourbe stands upright, and Denfert-Rochereau's statue is bronze. The wrought-iron fence by Belfort ironsmith Charles Schick carries a glaive, a Frankish angon and fleurs-de-lis, recalling Belfort's return to France in 1648.

The monument stands in a public square and can be viewed free of charge. The best time to visit is on sunny days when the bronze sculptures are clearly visible.

Local residents jokingly refer to the sculpture as the Monument of Three Liars because Legrand is not the tallest, Lecourbe stands straight, and Denfert-Rochereau is made of bronze. This playful joke reflects the residents' affectionate familiarity with their local landmark.
