Madone tower, Medieval tower in Villeneuve-Loubet, France.
The Madone Tower stands as a pentagonal keep measuring 14 meters in height, featuring three distinct masonry patterns across its vertical structure.
Built in the 13th century as the keep of La Garde fortress, the tower underwent partial demolition in 1391 following Queen Marie's orders.
A statue of the Virgin Mary placed atop the tower in the 19th century reflects the religious traditions of Villeneuve-Loubet.
Reaching the tower requires following a forest path from Camping du Sourire, carefully navigating through several unmarked trails.
The keep features a base of 4.68 by 5.25 meters with a 2.10-meter projection that extends directly over empty space.
