Fort Lamalgue, Military fortress in Toulon, France
Fort Lamalgue stands on an elevation in the Mourillon district of Toulon, featuring an elongated design of 200 meters long and 144 meters wide.
Construction of the fortress began in 1764 under military engineer Millet de Monville, following directives from King Louis XV after the Seven Years' War.
The fort served as a temporary prison for Emir Abdelkader, a prominent Algerian resistance leader against French colonial rule during the mid-19th century.
The fort currently houses administrative departments of the French Navy, managing personnel records, archives, and payroll functions for naval staff.
On November 27, 1942, the order to scuttle the French fleet was issued from Fort Lamalgue during the German occupation of Toulon.
