VISITE HISTORIQUE ET PATRIMONIALE

DÉCOUVREZ 360 ANS D'HISTOIRE
Come visit the Citadelle de Marseille, (Fort Saint Nicolas), a historical monument classified since 1969, overlooking the Vieux-Port and recently opened to the public. Here, you will discover, alongside our mediators, the history and ongoing restoration of this five-hectare heritage site, with an exceptional view over the entire harbor, the Catalans district, and Notre-Dame de la Garde.

À l'occasion de la Fête Nationale le 14 juillet, le lancement du traditionnel feu d'artifice se fera, comme chaque année, depuis la Citadelle de Marseille.

En préparation de l'événement, les visites des 10, 11, 12 et 13 juillet auront un parcours légèrement modifié pour s'adapter aux contraintes du feu d'artifice.

La Citadelle sera fermée le 14 juillet.

Accessibility

The topography of the Citadelle of Marseille, on a rocky spur overlooking the Old Port, and its restoration in accordance with the rules governing its classification as a Historic Monument, unfortunately make the site very difficult to access for wheelchairs and pushchairs (very steep slopes and slippery ground surface).

If you have any doubts about your ability to visit Fort St-Nicolas, please do not hesitate to contact us directly: accueil@lacitadelle.org
