Fort Saint-Jean

You can see Fort Saint-Jean on your right when you face the old port of Marseille, an important part of a military building inseparable from the history of Marseille, as this fort was the starting point for troops to reach the Holy Land (Jerusalem). Nowadays, this fortress is one of the most visited monuments in Marseille, and is connected to the former port by a footbridge, forming an integral part of the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations.
