history

Fort de Mons

The small community experienced its boom as a banlieue of Lille. Fort de Mons was built between 1878 and 1880 to protect the city of Lille against a possible invasion from the east. Today there is a station of the Lille metro here . As a modern structure, the Mons radio tower towers over the city.
