From a historical perspective, Joan-les-Pins is considered "young and green" - the town is just over 100 years old. Its main attraction on the map is the Museum of the Tower, which was once home to the Gili fishing family and today displays household items, clothing, furniture, and masterpieces of needlework and carpentry from Provence and neighboring regions dating from the 18th to 19th centuries.
But the real pursuit of historical treasures should begin in Antibes (we've compiled descriptions of some of them in Russian especially for you). Among its main attractions is the Fort Carré (on the city map it is located in the western part). Its peculiarity is its unusual shape - in the form of a four-pointed star. Thanks to it in XVIII century the fort became the main defense fortification of the coast of Antibes. By the way, it was within its walls that Napoleon Bonaparte was imprisoned in 1794.
In the historic center of Antibes there are other fortifications with a centuries-old history, a photo of which should be at every vacationer in Juan-les-Pins. For example, Grimaldi Castle and the church of Immaculée-Concepcion. The exact date of construction of the buildings is unknown (approximately XІІ-ХІІІІ centuries).
