=== Vauban Citadel ===
Built by [[Vauban]] between 1667 and 1672, the [[Citadel]] has been nicknamed ''La belle inutile'' (the beautiful useless one) by residents as it has never been directly involved in heavy fighting and didn't prevent the Germans from occupying the city in either World War. Since 7&nbsp;July 2008 it has been part of the UNESCO [[World Heritage Site]]s ''[[Fortifications of Vauban]]'' which includes eleven other fortifications.<ref name="arras">{{cite web|url=http://www.arras.fr/tourisme/office-de-tourisme/citadelle-vauban.html |title=Citadelle Vauban - Arras |publisher=arras.fr |access-date=30 October 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150101180427/http://www.arras.fr/tourisme/office-de-tourisme/citadelle-vauban.html |archive-date=1 January 2015 }}</ref>
Within the citadel on the side of ''La Place de Manœuvre'' a small Baroque-style chapel was built. Outside, ''Le Mur des Fusillés'' (the wall of the people executed by a firing squad) pays tribute to the 218 members of the [[French Resistance]] shot in the citadel's ditch during World War II.
