The building
The square tower beside the cathedral – the «Saracen tower» of the old town’s walks – is listed with the church and the Chapelle Saint-Esprit as one historic monument. It is the landmark you steer by in the lanes of Vieil Antibes.
Good to know. Seen from the Place de la Cathédrale and the sea wall.
