La Citadelle – Centre d’art & Musée

La Citadelle, located at Fossés de la Citadelle, 06230 Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, is a 16th-century fortress that became a center for art and culture in 1981. After its demilitarization in 1967 and classification as a Historic Monument in 1968, it now houses collections of fine arts from the 16th to the 21st century. The museum's trail is currently closed for renovation and restoration of the collections, but the contemporary art center remains open, hosting artist residencies and exhibitions. The site spans over three hectares, offering a unique open-air art space for invited contemporary artists. (lacitadellevsm.fr)
