Buildings
There are several fortifications in La Seyne-sur-Mer and the surrounding area, some of which can be visited.

Except for the liberation of France in 1944, it was never used for warlike purposes. In 1973 the fortification was transferred to the city of La Seyne, which had urgently needed renovations carried out. Today there is a museum of modern art in the fort.
