Keeping an eye to the sea from the citadel of St-Tropez

Picture taken in: St. Tropez, Var

High over the town of St-Tropez towers the Citadel, which was built between 1590 and 1607. In the gateway is a large modern relief by Paul Landowski, depicting a ship's cannon being made ready for action. Within the six-cornered fortress is the Musée de la Marine et de l'Histoire Locale (Museum of Shipping and Local History), in which there is a good reproduction of a Greek galley to be seen. From the battlements there is a good view of the Gulf of St-Tropez and the Massif des Maures. [Planetware] www.cheminsdememoire.gouv.fr/page/affichelieu.php?idLang=...
