The Citadel of St-Tropez and the Maritime History Museum operate today as a joint attraction, with a low admission fee covering both sites' entry. For just a few euros, visitors can learn about St-Tropez’s former life as a strategic 17th-century port town and how the citadel defended the coast against Spain. Information through the museum and citadel is presented in both English and French.
Many private tours of St-Tropez and shore excursions put a visit to the citadel on their itineraries, as it’s a great way to learn about the town's history that’s often overlooked. Independent visitors will also find it easy to visit, being a short distance from the Old Port.
