FORT ST. NICHOLAS
Read moreThe Saint-Nicolas fortress was built between 1660 and 1664 in record time. Following a series of revolts, king Louis XIV ordered the construction of the citadel to assure supervision of the city, but also its defence. During the Revolution, the fort is swept by the revolutionaries who degrade a part of it. It is in 1860 that the fort is seen divided into two by the construction of a new boulevard named Charles-Livon, which connects the Port au Pharo Old man. Therefore the sea side part is called strong Ganteaume, on the other side, the strong summit is named after Entrecasteaux. Today, only part of the fort is open to the public. An opportunity to admire panoramic views of the city and the port. Strong Saint-Nicolas is classified as a historical heritage since 1969.
