What to expect

Built on a rocky island off the Mediterranean in 1524 by the order of Francis I, the Château d' If was built to protect the coasts of the Phocaean city from invasion. Because of its isolation, the Fortress of the Isle of If became for four centuries a prison where are imprisoned crooks, Protestants and banished sick people. There was also the prisoner José Custodio Faria, immortalized in the legendary Count of Monte Cristo.
