Napoleon Bonaparte first made his name here as a young Major of Artillery, by spotting an ideal place for his guns to be set up in such a way that they dominated the city's harbour. Napoleon took part in the assault on the fort covering this position. Once this was done, the Anglo-Spanish fleets were compelled to withdraw, and the resistance crumbled. As a result, the 24-year old Napoleon was made a Brigadier General, and it brought him to the attention of elite political circles in Paris.
