Tower built from 1514 to 1524 by Italian engineer Jean-Antoine de la Porta, open to the public in summer.

This "big tower" with cannons was built between 1514 and 1524 by Italian engineer Jean-Antoine de la Porta on the orders of Louis XII to protect against enemy intrusion. With its 60-meter diameter and 7-meter thick walls, it was the first defensive structure in the harbor. Occupied by the Germans in 1942, it was almost destroyed by American bombing raids. Listed as a historical monument since 1947, it is only open to the public in summer. But you can always stroll around and admire the view over the Mediterranean.

Grosse tour du 16 ème siècle qui avec le Fort Balaguier permettait par des tirs croisés des pièces d'artillerie d'assurer la défense de la rade.
Tout autour, agréable jardin et très beau point de vue.
