The Fort Loyasse is a fort built between 1836 and 1840. It is currently in the 9th district of Lyon and is part of the first belt of forts protecting Lyon. The fort is a sister fort to Fort de Caluire (now destroyed), Fort Duchère (now destroyed) and Fort Saint-Jean. == History == Built in 1836-1840 as a result of the July Revolution and fears of an invasion of France by Austria, the fort of Loyasse is intended to protect the city from invaders from the east. This fort and that of Vaise are located on the former walled area of the Py. After the invention in 1858 of rifled bore, which replaced Smooth-bore, and which extended the reach of projectiles to 2,500m, and then melinite replacing gunpowder in 1885, which increased the blast of explosions, the forts of the Loyasse generation become obsolete. The fort was used in World War I as housing for prisoners of war; for the Second World War it was occupied by the Germans. The fort was completely decommissioned by the military on October 15, 1947. Lyon acquired the land of the fort in 1949 from the fort auction for 1,200 000 francs and it served as a roads department's warehouse, a Glacis, and to arrange family gardens. The fort's underground temporarily served as a mushroom farm. A barracks of the fort was destroyed in the 1960s to expand climb to the suburb of l'Observance ; some trenches allowed the construction of the boulevard linking the new district of Observance to Vaise in in 1961. 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 de Loyasse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
