After the Jesuits were expelled from France in 1764, their seminary in Toulon was transformed into a naval hospital.

The imposing gate of the Jesuit seminary has been moved twice.

When the naval hospital was demolished in 1911, the beautiful oak door of the former Jesuit seminary was moved to the front of the Corderie and placed against the perimeter wall of the arsenal. In 1917, it served as the entrance to the offices of the Maritime Prefecture located on the upper floor of the Corderie.

The gate was moved a second time during the construction of the western highway in 1975.
Now leaning against the facade of the Corderie's eastern pavilion, two majestic statues overlook it.
The one on the left represents Religion, and the one on the right represents Strength, armed with a club. The work was supervised by Raymond Langueneux, master of the port's sculpture workshop. The sculptures were created by Pierre Tombarelli.
