Grimaldi-Castle Museum, Medieval fortress museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer, France
The Grimaldi Castle Museum occupies a hilltop location within a 14th-century fortress, offering Mediterranean Sea views from its observation tower through large windows.
The structure originated in 1300 when Rainier Grimaldi constructed a defensive fortress, which Baron Jean-Henri Grimaldi later converted into a residential palace in 1620.
The museum displays a collection of 40 portraits depicting French singer Suzy Solidor, created by multiple 20th-century artists including Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso.
Visitors can access the museum via a free shuttle bus running every 15 minutes from downtown Cagnes-sur-Mer, with adult admission costing 4 euros.
The museum contains an ethnographic exhibition dedicated to olive trees and oil production, reflecting the agricultural traditions of southern France.
