Fort Carré is a perfectly preserved star-shaped fort built in the 16th century, located on a hill overlooking Antibes and the Baie des Anges. Its unique design, with four bastions, was ahead of its time and later influenced military architecture. Visitors can explore the ramparts, climb to the top for sweeping views of the old town, port, and sea, and learn about the fort's history through informative panels. The fort is surrounded by a moat and accessible via a bridge. It's a peaceful spot, often less crowded than other attractions, offering a fascinating glimpse into military history and a perfect photo opportunity.
