City Center of Arras

"City Center of Arras"

Location: Arras, France

Inspired by the Gothic style, the 246 feet (75 meters) tall bell tower of Arras overlooks the Place des Héros. Its construction started in 1463 and ended in 1554 under the supervision of Jacques Le Caron. Later, the bell tower was enlarged twice, in 1572 and in 1658. Though almost completely destroyed entirely during the Great War (aka WW I), the bell tower was rebuilt less ornately under the plans of Pierre Paquet between 1924 and 1932.
