# Bastille

4e arrondissement de Paris, Paris, Île-de-France

Bastille stands in 4e arrondissement de Paris (Paris), in the Île-de-France region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Bastille refers to the site of a 14th-century fortress built to defend Paris's eastern gate, later turned state prison and a symbol of royal authority. It was torn down during the French Revolution, so nothing of the building itself remains to see today; the appeal lies in the history rather than physical ruins. The present-day place de la Bastille now covers the ground it once stood on, at the end of rue Saint-Antoine.

**No visits on record.** No opening hours or ticketing found.
