The Balaguier tower, reflected by its fortifications, protects the harbour of Toulon and the Mediterranean. Built in 1636 under the instruction of Richelieu, it completes the protection of the port of Toulon protecting it by its Royal tower. This artillery building with high battery, designed to fire with its multiple guns still in place, was perfectly positioned so as to prevent access to the small harbour. Towards the end of the seventeenth century, it is complemented by an enclosure, housing, a magazine and a chapel. The tower which became Naval Museum, is now surrounded by lovely gardens, where sculptures and nature are discovered over a ride. During summer, the gardens also host theatres in the evening.
