The 16th- and 17th-century fortress that defends the Antibes coast stands on a site the Romans used as a temple to Mercury. The temple ruins make up part of a fifth-century chapel inside the fort.
The most recent structures were designed by Vauban, which may be of interest to fans of military architecture. The view of Antibes from the fort makes it worth a visit for everyone else.The fort can be visited only on guided tours, which are run every half-hour, in both English and French.
Until 1997, the Fort was the property of the French Army. It was opened to the public only after being acquired by the city. If you area fan of Musketeer and Foreign Legion movies, the fort will probably seem familiar, as it has been
filmed many times.
