Fort Saint-Nicolas Marseille

Overlooking the Vieux-Port, the Citadelle reveals the military architecture of Fort Saint-Nicolas: defensive walls, bastions and stone ramparts tell the story of the site's role in Marseille's history. Explore it through guided tours, workshops or advertised events. The gardens and open-air café are not always accessible; choose a time slot from the official programme.
