These architectural elements provide a framework symbiotically linked to the collections and are masterfully imposing.

It is a relic of the medieval fortifications, with two 13th-century round towers and two gun bastions from the 15th century.; The Imperial District was created following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71, when the fate of Metz changed dramatically.; Optional Battle of Metz experience with key sites, historical insight, and memorials.
