Review:
Now one of the three sites which make up MuCEM, Fort St. Jean is an ancient defensive fort which was built in the 14th century. Prior to the establishment of MuCEM, Fort St Jean was strictly off limits to the public, which was a great shame as the building offers unsurpassed views of the Old Port and its surrounds, and also hides a magnificent garden. Today visitors can admire various temporary and permanent exhibitions which relate to European and Mediterranean civilizations inside the fully-renovated fort and take a walk through the Gardens of Migrations. The garden contains 15 themed areas, each of which is reminiscent of a Mediterranean country.
