With its emblematic tower and somewhat noble appearance, the "castle" of Port-Miou stands out in the wild setting of the cove.
Its origins are unclear: mentioned in 1810, the exact date of its construction and the tower's architect are unknown. Its beams, sculpted in the shape of marine animals, perhaps from a ship, add to its mystery.
🛠️ An industrial castle!
After belonging to a sulfur refiner, in 1898 it became the headquarters of the Solvay quarry, where limestone was extracted to produce the soda ash used in Marseille soap.
