Bastille is one of the older areas of Paris and is the location of the famous Bastille Prison which was stormed during the French Revolution of 1789. It is currently the site of the July Column commemorating the events of the French Revolution and the Modern Bastille Opera designed by the Urugayan architect Carlos Ott and opened by President Mitterrand in 1989.
The former location of the fort is currently called the Place de la Bastille. It is home to the Opéra Bastille. The large ditch (fossé) behind the fort has been transformed into a marina for pleasure boats, the Bassin de l'Arsenal, to the south, and a covered canal, the Canal Saint Martin, extending north from the marina beneath the vehicular roundabout that borders the location of the fort.
On Thursdays and Sundays a large, open-air market occupies part of the park to the north of the Place de la Bastille, along the Boulevard Richard Lenoir. Consumers can find fresh fruit, fish, meat, cheese and bread along with clothing and typical flea market items.
Some undemolished remains of one tower of the fort were discovered during excavation for the Métro (rail mass-transit system) in 1899, and were moved to a park (the Square Henri-Galli) a few hundred metres away, where they are displayed today. The original outline of the fort is also marked on the pavement of streets and sidewalks that pass over its former location, in the form of special paving stones. A cafe and some other businesses largely occupy the location of the fort, and the Rue Saint Antoine passes directly over it as it opens onto the roundabout of the Bastille.
