About
Quick facts: A fortified prison on a rocky island, famous thanks to Alexandre Dumas’ novel "The Count of Monte Cristo." More than 40 meters tall, it served as a prison for hundreds of inmates often sent without trial.
Highlights: The view from the ramparts offers an impressive panorama of the Mediterranean and the Old Port. Walking through the dark cells and hearing the echoes of prisoner stories transports you into a timeless atmosphere.
Insider tips

- Bringen Sie eine Windjacke mit, falls eine starke Meeresbrise aufkommt, die auf der Insel überraschen kann.
- Verpassen Sie nicht das Panorama von der Südterrasse, perfekt für Fotos bei Sonnenuntergang.
- Vermeiden Sie Sommerwochenenden, um Menschenmassen zu umgehen.
