Place de la Castre, Medieval square in Le Suquet district, Cannes, France
Place de la Castre sits at the summit of Le Suquet hill, providing a complete panoramic view of Cannes bay and the Lérins Islands.
The square developed around a medieval castle complex that housed monks, with its watchtower and chapel receiving historical monument status in 1937.
The square hosts the annual Nuits Musicales du Suquet festival in July, featuring performances at the Notre-Dame-d'Espérance church forecourt.
Visitors can access both the Musée de la Castre and the Notre-Dame-d'Espérance church directly from the square's elevated position.
A statue of the Virgin Mary stands at the edge of the square, watching over the city of Cannes and its maritime activities.
