Introduction
After Charles V's unsuccessful siege of the city in 1552, it was decided to build a formidable citadel in Metz. In the center of this immense rectangle, a granary or magasin aux vivres was built in 1569 to store the garrison's supplies. This is the oldest surviving 16th-century military building. Today, the building houses the 4-star hotel "La Citadelle" and the gourmet restaurant "La Réserve".
