BELFORT AND THE LION OF BARTHOLDI

Located in Belfort, at the foot of the cliff of the citadelle, THE LION OF BELFORT is a monumental sculpture made by the Alsatian sculptor Frédéric Bartholdi. It depicts a lying wounded lion ready to stand up on a rocky pedestal and commemorates the resistance of the city, besieged by the Prussians during the War of 1870, at the end of which the area corresponding to the current Territory of Belfort was the only part of Alsace to remain French.
