Description

Built during the 16th century, the Mont Alban fort was an essential link in the defense system of the maritime window of the States of Savoy.
From its terrace, the view stretches from the tip of Bordighera to the Estérel Massif, taking in Cap d’Ail, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Nice, the Baie des Anges, and the Garoupe d’Antibes—it’s simply incredible. On a clear, sunny day, some people can even catch a glimpse of Corsica… The Mont-Alban Fort has been listed as a Historic Monument since 1909 for its enclosure, since 1913 for its ramparts and the remaining moats, and since 1923 for the 250-meter zone surrounding it. Visits to Fort Mont-Alban are currently suspended.
