About
The Fort of Mont Alban is a military fortification in the city of Nice. Built between 1557 and 1560 after the 1543 Siege of Nice, on the eponymous hill between Nice and the harbor of Villefranche-sur-Mer, it is one of the rare examples of military architecture from the mid-16th century in France in a good state of preservation.
