Fort d'Aleth, 18th-century fortress in Saint-Servan, Saint-Malo, France.
Fort d'Aleth features thick stone walls, multiple defensive bastions, and a network of underground tunnels connecting various military installations throughout the complex.
The fort, constructed in 1759, became a central German defense point during World War II, equipped with artillery batteries and anti-aircraft installations.
The fortress contains a World War II memorial museum within its former German bunkers, presenting artifacts and documents from the 1944 battle of Saint-Malo.
Visitors can reach the fortress through marked paths from Saint-Malo, with guided tours available that explain the military architecture and defensive systems.
The fortress occupies a strategic position on a promontory that Romans used since the 1st century, offering views over the Saint-Malo bay and coastline.
