The first two towers which gave their name to the Bastille were built in 1357 by the Provost of Paris Étienne Marcel.
Two more towers were added later by the Provost of Paris Hugues Aubriot, then again four more, to a grand total of eight towers, between 1370 and 1383.
The Bastille lasted for 400 years until the French revolutionaries destroyed it, starting the very next day after the July 14, 1789 storming of the jail.

∙ 11y agoThe Bastille was captured on July 14, 1789. It was taken apart brick by brick by about 900 Parisians gathered in its courtyard. The main reason why this happened was because everyone was hungry and citizens were angered by their starvation. At first, the Parisians searched for munitions because taking apart the Bastille would be illogical if there was an easier way. When they found there was none, they all stormed toward the Bastille and spend laboring hours angered taking apart the Bastille brick by brick.

What's the "Bastille" in Bastille Day?
The Bastille was a prison and fortress built in the 14th century to protect Paris's eastern entrance. At the height of its use, it held political prisoners, but by 1789, it was mostly vacant except for supplies like gunpowder. In fact, the Bastille was supposed to be demolished and replaced with a town square. Revolutionaries had other ideas, though—they wanted to get at that gunpowder, so they stormed the Bastille on July 14, 1789, losing about 100 people in the process. However, they ended up winning the day and proceeded to execute the Bastille's governor and dismantle the building entirely. Interestingly enough, they don't even call it Bastille Day in France—they use la Fête nationale or le 14 juillet.
