Bastion Saint-Jaume, Medieval fortification in Old Town, Antibes, France.
The monumental structure features thick stone walls and strategic gun emplacements positioned along the Mediterranean seafront of Antibes.
Built on the site of an ancient Roman temple, the bastion underwent transformations from a church to a fortress designed by Vauban in the 16th century.
The bastion displays the Nomade sculpture, an eight-meter-high aluminum creation by artist Jaume Plensa, installed on the terrace in 2007.
The site remains accessible from 10 AM to 6 PM between September and May, extending to 11 PM from June through August, with Monday closures.
Former gun emplacements now house eight life-size cast aluminum self-portraits created by contemporary artist Jaume Plensa.
