The Bastille was finished being built in 1383. The Bastille is a square in Paris where the Bastille prison once stood and represents liberty. During the French Revolution angry citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille and destroyed it during King Louis' reign. Today the 14 July is celebrated as Bastille day and the square is used for political demonstrations, concerts, and gatherings.
