The Tour de César is a cylindrical tower 15 meters high, flared at its base, which served as a watchtower for the city of Aix-en-Provence. It has several names: the Tour de Keyrié, the Tour de César, but also the Tour du Prévôt because, in 1383, Canon Isnard, provost of the Aix-en-Provence chapter, had it erected during the disturbances caused. by the succession of Queen Jeanne. It was restored in 2007.
