Fort Saint-Jean
Quai du Port, Marseilles, FranceTel: +33 4 91 13 89 00 (office du Tourisme)
Standing at the southern entrance to the Vieux-Port on the north bank, Fort Saint-Jean was built to protect the old town. Dating back to the end of the 12th Century, it is named after the religious order of Saint-Jean-de-Jerusalem. The square Roy Rene tower was added to the port side of the fort in the 15th Century, and the look-out tower was added to the seaward side in the 18th Century. Exhibitions and visits to the Roy Rene tower are regularly organised. The Tourist Office will be happy to provide information on alternative tours.
