Self-Guided Podcast Tour Namur: The Termite Mound of Europe

About this activity

Ascend through two millennia of relentless ambition, genius engineering, and transformation. Perched at the strategic confluence of two great rivers, the Citadel of Namur has been a Roman stronghold, a medieval seat of power, and the ultimate testing ground for Europe's greatest military minds. Napoleon called it the 'termite mound of Europe' for its seven kilometers of secret underground tunnels. Join Ian, a political and military historian, and his local friend Claudia, as they decode the layered history of this colossal fortress. From the brutal sieges of the 17th century to its surprising modern rebirth as a utopian park, discover how geography dictated 2000 years of conflict and how a fortress finally found peace.
