On July 14, 1789, the Parisian crowd stormed the Bastille in a show of unity against the monarchy. The Bastille was a French prison that housed political prisoners. It was considered a symbol of royal tyranny and its destruction is considered the beginning of the French Revolution. There is a monument in its place today that you can view on google maps. It is there a constant reminder of the Revolutions ideals - Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. (Britannica, 2014)
