Description
Antibes Archeology museum in the old Bastion Saint Andre, a 17th-century fortress, and the Antibes commune on a background.
"Guardian of the remains on land and in the sea of the ancient Greek Antipolis, the bastion Saint-Andre, designed following plans by Vauban in the late 17th century, is now home to the Archaeology Museum, which houses all the collections gathered during various excavations in the city and the surrounding waters. A precious past resuscitated, through the wrecks of Etruscan, Greek, Phoenician and Roman ships driven here by storms: ceramics, amphorae, mosaics, coins and everyday objects attest to the extraordinary prosperity of the powerful Roman "Civitas Antipolitana."" - http://www.antibesjuanlespins.com.
