You can see the fortress of Saint-Jean on your right when you face the old port of Marseille, an important part of a military building inseparable from the history of Marseille, as this fortress was the starting point for troops to reach the Holy Land (Jerusalem). Nowadays one of the most visited monuments in Marseille, this fortress is connected to the former port by a footbridge, forming an integral part of the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations.
