    From this old fort you have a beautiful view of the old town, the sea and Malariba. The fortress itself is also suitable as a photo subject but unfortunately it can not be committed anymore - you can only walk around it.

      The Fort du Mont Alban is a military fortification built between 1557 and 1560 on the hill of the same name, located between Nice and the Bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer. In France, the fortress is one of the rare examples of military architecture from the mid-16th century, preserved in good condition.

      From here you have on one side a breathtaking view of bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the largest cruise port of France. On the opposite side you can see a wonderful panorama of Nice's hinterland.
