On July 14th, 1789, a crowd in Paris stormed the medieval fortress and prison known as the Bastille. Although, at the time, the prison only contained seven inmates (4 forgers, 2 "lunatics" and 1 "deviant"), and a decision had already been taken to close it, it remained a symbol of the oppression by the monarchy, and hence the storming has subsequently come to be viewed as critical event in the French Revolution. Today, these events are commemorated each year on July 14th, as a French national holiday (French: "Fête Nationale"), which is commonly known as "quatorze juillet" ("14th of July").
