11 Arrondissement Map, Paris

The Bastille has a lot of importance in French history. Louis XIV had the ramparts demolished but kept the Bastille as a luxury prison for people of quality. Promoted to the rank of a symbol of the arbitrariness of the old monarchy, the Bastille was stormed by the Parisians on 14th July 1789, and later razed. Today, the monument in the square has a column surmounted by the "Spirit of Liberty" in remembrance of the event.
