The Bastille was the main Royal prison in Paris, it normally held prisoners of special interest to the King but at the time only seven common criminals were incarcerated. Since its inception it was owned by the government or more truthfully, the Throne. After the down trodden citizens of Paris stormed the prison and freed the inmates ownership changed hands that day, 14th July became the symbol of Fench liberty and freedom.
