HIGH KNOWLEDGE
A fort that dominates the village and has a picturesque staircase to access the round tower and then the arms room.
At the end of the 14th century, Colmars, like Entrevaux, became a border town with the Duchy of Savoy (allied to the Spanish) and needed to be protected by a wall. Several forts were added to it, including the Savoy fort, located on a hill to the north of the town, built in 1793. Overlooking the village, it has a picturesque staircase leading to the round tower and the arms room. You can admire the larch wood frames. Exhibitions are presented in each of the four rooms formerly occupied by the garrison.
