FORTIFICATIONS

The remaining fortifications give an idea of the strategic and defensive interest of this city, and more generally the military past of the three cantons. Although partially inaccessible, there are still some elements of this architecture: seven bastions and part of the imposing "Crenellated" wall. Faced with the decrease in the intensity of threats on this front, people were allowed to use the ditches to establish gardens, which are still trace today. You can also contemplate the breathtaking gap on the west side. You can walk through these fortifications by following the green arrows of the ramparts circuit at the beginning of the Fountain square. For a guided tour, you must contact the town hall.
