If Castle

If Castle is always popular with travelers coming to Marseille. It takes you two or three hours to get from the city center to this famous, though not as sinister in appearance as it is described, prison.

In these few hours you will learn why the island of If disliked Gaius Julius Caesar, because you will enjoy a pleasant sea trip and a cute miniature island.

You will learn where the pirates hid, why Francis I chose the island of If to build a fortress, all the strangeness of its architecture and, of course, the secrets of the fortress. In a short time, explore the cameras of famous prisoners and again immerse yourself in the intriguing plot of the novel “The Count of Monte Cristo”, not only learning all the details, but also visiting the cells of Abbot Faria, Edmond Dantes and making a photo for memory.

And the panoramic views from the tower of St. Christopher will surely conquer you. I can assure you, you may well want to stay... longer. And if you have free time, you can swim further, escaping from the island of If to Friul, enjoy the sea, cafes and beaches on the neighboring island.
