5 The Bastille of French Revolutionary fame was originally located at the western edge of what is now the place de la Bastille. It was demolished shortly after the beginning of the revolution, but today the outline of the original structure can be seen thanks to colored paving stones in the sidewalk and street at the site where it once stood. In the photo above, I've marked these stones in yellow, because they are hard to see in the original photo at this size. In the foreground you can see the outline of one of the towers Images can be found at: http://www.atkielski.com/inlink.html?/PhotoGallery/Paris/General/BastilleRemainsSmall.html

6 The Colonne de Juillet dominates la Place de la Bastille. It marks the site of the prison known as the Bastille which was stormed by the Mob in 1789 at the start of the French Revolution. In the subway station beneath the square, stones from the Bastille's foundation can still be seen. This square is also home to the Opéra Bastille completed in 1990.Opéra Bastille Images can be found at: http://www.paris.org/Monuments/Bastille/bastille.html
