Tour du Portalet, Defensive tower in Saint-Tropez, France
The Tour du Portalet stands at the entrance of Saint-Tropez harbor, marking the beginning of the main jetty and overseeing La Glaye creek.
Built during the 15th century, this stone structure formed part of the four-tower defensive system that protected Saint-Tropez from Mediterranean maritime threats.
The tower reflects the maritime traditions of Saint-Tropez, representing a period when coastal communities required protection against invasions from the sea.
Located at Grande jetée du port, the tower remains accessible throughout the year and provides an observation point over the Mediterranean waters.
The Tour du Portalet maintains its original position as one of three surviving towers from the medieval fortification system of Saint-Tropez.
