Fort Antoine
A small 18th-century fortress at the eastern tip of the Rock old town, now an open-air theatre where plays and concerts are staged in summer. It has views over the harbour.
Fort Antoine was built in the early 18th century by Prince Antoine I and sits on the eastern point of the Rock old town, guarding the harbour entrance. It was damaged during the Second World War, and after restoration in the 1950s it was converted into an open-air amphitheatre seating about 350 people. In summer it hosts plays and music performances known as the Fort Antoine Nights. At other times, you can walk up onto the fort's roof for free to look down on the yachts in Port Hercule and the tunnel exit of the F1 circuit. It is right next to the Oceanographic Museum, so it can be visited on the way. Allow 15 to 20 minutes.
