Image of a Roman sculpture. Fort Saint-Jean de Marseille is of great importance because this place is the foundation point of the city. The construction of the fort at the site of the former commandery of Saint-Jean de Jerusalem dates from the seventeenth century, when Louis XIV decided to strengthen the city 's defenses. The fort then retains a military vocation for more than three centuries. Serving as a German munitions depot during the war, it is severely damaged by an accidental explosion in 1944. It is classified as a historical monument in 1964 and then placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture.
