The belfry of Amiens is the last in a long line of belfries ravaged by war.Its foundation, resembling a fortress, dates from 1408, its crown from 1988, on a base identical to the work of the architect Beffara in 1753. This baroque dome was then poorly received by the population which called it "Gargantua’s syringe". It was at this time that the belfry acquired an extraordinary great bell weighing 11 tonnes, which was lost in 1940.
