Antibes, Fort Carré 04

Fort Carré d'Antibes is a 16th-century star-shaped fort of four arrow-head shaped bastions that stands on a 26-meter high promontory in Antibes, France.

Henry II ordered construction of the fort in the 16th century at a time when Antibes was situated on a tense border with the Duchy of Savoy.

During the 17th century, the Marquis de Vauban redeveloped it.
The Fort was decommissioned in the early 20th century.
