The Pharo Palace

This Castle was built for Empress Eugenie on the hills above the Vieux Port, from where you can enjoy a splendid panorama of the marina and the ferries that go to Corsica and to North Africa. Napoleon III offered it to the City of Marseilles and it became a Hospital and an extension of the University of Medecine. Today it has become a Convention Center and its garden is open to the public.
