Talented
engineers will improve the fort, but keep the general layout designed by Ercole
Negro:
|
|
Jean de Beins
enlarges the fort eastward and builds the Governor Hotel. |
|
|
Camus builds forward bastions southward |
|
|
Delangrunne levels the West curtain and
extracts the central bastion to form the entrance ravelin (or
demi-lune). |
Entrance
of the fort is moved several times during that century. Initially located on
the North front (with an access through the Savoie ravelin), it ends up
facing West, where it is still today.
