Fort Bellegarde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fort Bellegarde is a fortification in Le Perthus, Roussillon, France.
Le Perthus became French territory after the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659). Bellegarde was captured by the Spaniards in 1674, but retaken by Schomberg in 1675.
In 1678 Vauban's plans for the new fortress of Bellegarde were approved.
