The Bastille was one of the many construction projects undertaken by Charles V, and was intended to protect the Porte Saint-Antoine gate and its adjoining Saint-Pol palace. As the centuries wore on and the fortress became less useful as a fortification, it was used more and more often as a prison, finally being completely dedicated to that purpose under the reign of Louis XIII. The prisoners held there, who rarely numbered more than 40 each year, were most commonly political prisoners.

By 1789, the Bastille was deemed useless, and was costly to maintain, with 250 soldiers for a mere nine prisoners.*
