La Citadelle; Musée Naval de la Citadelle
- The citadel is a walled fortress sitting on the hilltop overlooking the town and the surrounding gulf and sea. It was built at the end of the 16th century, and its central donjon completed in 1607. The local, independent-minded population protested strongly enough that the citadel was torn down, but it was rebuilt in spite of their continued protests in 1652. The thick walls have guarded over St Tropez for 400 years, and was the most important coastal defense between Antibes and Toulon.
The museum is located in several rooms of the donjon in the center of the citadel.
