Barracks Post, Place de la Bastille; Canal Tunnel and July Column
In the final days of the Commune, those resisting the national forces pushed burning barges into the tunnel of the Canal Saint-Martin and burned the military post that stood at the edge of the Place de la Bastille, a post that had been burned in the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 and again in 1851.
