Tour carrée de Sainte-Maxime
Tour carrée de Sainte-Maxime, Fortified tower in Sainte-Maxime, France
The Tour Carrée features thick stone walls, defensive openings, and a square shape that exemplifies 16th-century military architecture on the French Riviera coast.
Built during the 16th century, this defensive structure protected the town of Sainte-Maxime against potential invasions from Mediterranean Sea raiders.
The tower received official recognition as a monument historique inscrit in 1977, securing its place within France's architectural preservation program.
Located at Place de la Libération, the tower opens to visitors who can explore its interior structure and learn about regional defense systems.
The tower incorporates specific Mediterranean defensive elements, including observation points that provided clear views of approaching vessels from multiple directions.
