Explorar Arrás

The Town Hall and Belfry of Arras stand at the north-west end of the Place des Héros. The Flamboyant Gothic belfry, 75 metres high, was finished in 1554 and is crowned by the city's lion. Both were destroyed by German shelling in 1914 and rebuilt to the old design. A lift and about forty steps lead to a level below the clock; the belfry is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wellington Quarry is a First World War memorial 20 metres beneath Arras, in medieval chalk quarries that New Zealand tunnellers linked from November 1916 into a network able to shelter 24,000 soldiers before the Battle of Arras of 9 April 1917. Opened in 2008, it is seen on a guided tour; a lift leads down to tunnels marked with soldiers' graffiti.
