Antibes, Mediterranean coastal city in French Riviera, France
The city extends between Cannes and Nice, featuring a natural harbor, medieval fortifications, and the pine-covered Cap d'Antibes peninsula jutting into the Mediterranean Sea.
Founded as Antipolis by Greek settlers from Massalia in the 4th century BC, the settlement developed into a Roman trading port before joining France in the 1480s.
The Grimaldi Castle houses the Picasso Museum, displaying works created during the artist's stay in Antibes, along with ceramics and paintings from 1946.
The Port Vauban marina maintains 1,700 berths for vessels, ranging from small boats to large yachts, making it the largest recreational harbor in Europe.
Fort Carré, constructed in the 16th century, sits on a peninsula with four pointed bastions, forming a perfect symmetrical star shape above the water.
