Civil and military monument
The Michelin Guide's review
The forward gate, rebuilt in the 19C, bears an inscription commemorating the siege of 1815. The guardhouse is followed by independent defensive features: drawbridge, portcullis and a second gate for the protection of Briançon. Today the building to the right houses a heritage centre.
