Fort Risban, Calais

Fort Risban was conquered by the English in November 1346 and later renovated the fort and made important changes, such as the creation of the Tower of Lancaster built in 1405, but it belonged to Calais again in January 1558 thanks to the Duc de Guise. The works of the fort began in the 13th Century but the French fort suffered more changes than those on the other side of the channel. The fortress is surrounded by dunes and the sea and the inside is divided in two by a door accommodating pillboxes. Today, it has a peaceful role as a nautical base and a beautiful attraction for everyone.
