Mont-Dauphin is a historic fortress town located in the French Alps, in the department of Hautes-Alpes. Built in 1693 under the direction of military engineer Vauban during the reign of Louis XIV, the fortified town sits atop a rocky plateau overlooking the confluence of the Durance and Guil rivers. The site was chosen for its strategic military position, protecting the valley and the route to Italy.
The town is a remarkable example of 17th-century military architecture and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the "Fortifications of Vauban" group. The fortified settlement features well-preserved ramparts, military buildings, and a traditional village layout that reflects its original purpose as a garrison town.
Today, Mont-Dauphin serves as a testament to French military engineering and architectural heritage, attracting visitors interested in both military history and alpine culture.
