Fort Saint-Jean Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Fort Saint Jean (Fort Saint Jean) is located at the entrance of the old port of Marseille. It was built under the supervision of Louis XIV in 1660. The Fort Saint Nicholas, which was built at the same time, is located on the opposite bank of the old port. Louis XIV once said that "the inhabitants of Marseille are very fond of beautiful fortresses and wish to have our own castle at the entrance to this great port." ” In fact, the two forts were built to deal with local uprisings against the governor and to supervise the administrators, not to prevent foreign enemies and defend the city. The weapons on the castle are all pointed into the wall, which shows that the internal worries were taken more seriously at that time. Now it is used as a museum to record the history at that time. Visitors can also overlook the city from a high place, and the scenery is very beautiful.

In September, Saint Jean's is open at 11 o'clock, I came here on the first Sunday of September, which is free. Even Saint Jean's open day has no restrictions on visiting places. The views of the castle and the harbour are beautiful, and if you are a person who likes to explore the history of the city, it will feel more beautiful. There is also a passage to the Mediterranean Civilization Museum and the stone cage.
The fortress was particularly beautiful and solemn under the blue sky and white clouds, and Fort St. John and its nearby Fort St. Nicholas guarded the old port of Marseille, all built by Louis 14.
The most worthwhile visit to Marseille is the Cathedral of the Virgin of the Virgin, on the high ground of the city, and the fortress of St. John, which was built during the Louis XIV period and is held close to the throat of Marseille's old port to the Mediterranean. The castle is a beautiful view of the blue sky and blue sea of the Mediterranean Sea and the charming harbor of Marseille. The castle is connected by an aerial iron bridge to the Mediterranean Civilization Museum, which combines classical and modern organically and has a good visual experience. The castle is free to visit, but museum visits are charged.
The town seems to love this place to relax, have picnics, and take a break from work. It’s a massive walkable area and definitely worth the stroll through if you happen to be in town.
Very suitable for coming with friends on weekends, have a happy weekend! I also recommend everyone to come.
St. John's Castle is strangled at the entrance to Marseille's Old Port, and a cylindrical tower, up to tens of meters high, is built on the fort wall for observation or defense. The Mediterranean Civilization Museum next to it is connected by a tens of meters long flat iron bridge, which can be visited with the Mediterranean Civilization Museum, which is very affordable.
