Considering the Le Galion Residence in Antibes?

Fort Carré by MM212
Dominating a hill on the peninsula of Saint-Roch, the star-shaped Fort Carré is graced with 360 degree views of the surroundings - not surprising for a defence fortress. The location had been inhabited since ancient times and was the site of the Roman Temple of Mercury. The pagan temple gave way to a Christian church of Saint-Michel and later Saint-Laurent. Due to frequent wars in the 15th and 16th century, a fortress for the protection of Antibes was built on the site of the church and enlarged over time to become the structure we see today. Fort Carré makes a nice backdrop for the port of Antibes and is considered one of the symbols of Antibes. The fortress is open to visitors and contains a museum.
