Fort Saint-Jean

2nd arrondissement of Marseille, France · built 1660

Fort Saint-Jean (French pronunciation: [fɔʁ sɛ̃ʒɑ̃], Occitan: Fort Sant Joan) is a fortification in Marseille, built in 1660 by Louis XIV at the entrance to the Old Port. Since 2013, it has been linked by two foot-bridges to the historical district Le Panier and to the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations; the latter being the first French national museum to be located outside Paris.
