Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Wednesday, 11 March 2020 is Fort Duchère.
The Fort Duchère or Fort Balmont is located in the 9th arrondissement of Lyon. Composed of five bastions built between 1844 and 1851, it is part of the first belt of fortifications in Lyon, which include:
Fort de Caluire (now demolished),
Fort de Loyasse and
Fort Saint-Jean. This fort was unusual for its star shape, evoking the style of Vauban fortification and construction. It was demolished in 1960 and replaced by a sports complex.
