Fort du Mont Alban, Nice, France 🇫🇷

#celebratewithtrip #nice #france #fort Amazing views and a must go when in Nice. We visited this on our last day. Went there by public transport. The ticket is just 1.5 euros or you can get a day card with unlimited trips for 5 euros. We climbed a steep hill to get to the Fort but at the end it was totally worth it. The Fort is rather impressive but it was closed when we were there, so we could only go around and admire the views. Built by order of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, between 1557 and 1560, Fort du Mont Alban is one of the most exemplary French military architectural structures dating back to the 16th century. The purpose of its construction was, of course, of military nature: to reinforce the defense line considerably debilitate as a result of the siege of Nice (in 1543). But what is striking about Fort du Mont Alban is it has survived, as said, in good condition, despite the fact it was considerably affected in World War Two.
