| 520 | 1 | |a "As a strategically located seat of European power, Paris was a prized target for foreign invaders. Consequently, it became one of the most heavily fortified cities in Europe and the world. Though many of the fortifications have been destroyed, demolished, or hidden behind civil and religious architecture, they have left their imprint on the city, both physically (with an outline still visible in the city's thoroughfares) and historically. To understand the history of Paris - and indeed, of France as a whole - one must understand the history of the fortifications." "This heavily illustrated history begins with the period from 300 BC to 987 AD, ranging from the Gallic period through that of the Carpetians. Part II looks at the Medieval era (987-1512), a growth period for the city. Bastioned fortifications (1512-1874) are the focus of Part III, covering the era in which Paris modernized its defenses. Modern fortifications (1874-1944) are detailed in Part IV, ranging from the building of the second Parisian ring of polygonal forts to the end of World War II."--BOOK JACKET | |
