Fort built on the only island of the Languedoc coastline that served as a state prison from 1680 to 1852.
Built on the only island of the Languedoc coastline, the fort was erected in 1586 by order of the Viscount of Joyeuse. After having been used as a hideout for pirates, the king demanded its destruction but this was prevented by Cardinal Richelieu who saw in this place the opportunity to install a military port. His death led to the end of the work. Thereafter, the fort was used as a state prison from 1680 to 1852, then was decommissioned and assigned to the Ponts et Chaussées from 1889. A historical monument, it is part of the identity of the city of Agde and awaits its rehabilitation as a hotel.
