Fort Saint-Jean (Marseille)

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.
