The Fort Saint-Jean is located in the 1is arrondissement of Lyon and part of the primary fort belt of Lyon, which includes Fort de Loyasse, and the now destroyed forts of Fort Duchère and Fort de Caluire == History == The fort was not initially a bastion but was built as a component of the enclosure of the Croix-Rousse, at the beginning of 16th century, to protect from the Swiss. In 1636 the Halincourt door was built. The fort was completed in the 18th century, but construction of the current building began in 1834. Fort Saint-Jean has an area of 17,000 meters squared and dominates the Saône river to 40m above the river. In 1932, the Military Health Service had its regional pharmacy there. On 2 September 1944, when Lyon was occupied by the Germans, a group of volunteers gathered at the fort to prevent the occupiers from destroying the bridges over the Saône. In 1984 the fort was occupied by the Veterinary Service of the Armed Forces. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fort Saint-Jean (Lyon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
