Place d'Armes and the Tour du Guet, Calais

Highlight • Historical Site

The Place d'Armes borders the Tour du Guet (the Watchtower) and is strategically located in the heart of the city. Historically it was a central meeting place for military meetings and important ceremonies.
Important scenes took place in this square during the siege of Calais between 1346 and 1347. Six citizens of Calais, known as the “glorious citizens”, surrendered to King Edward III of England to save their city. This heroic moment was later immortalized in the famous bronze sculpture “Les Bourgeois de Calais” by Auguste Rodin.
