Created in 1963, the Archaeological Museum is housed in the Saint-André bastion, a military stronghold built by Vauban in the late seventeenth century. Its two vaulted galleries are home to the Antibes’ permanent archaeological collection, made up of objects excavated both on land and in the sea. It has allowed us to reconstruct the history of the town during Antiquity as well as the history of Ligurian, Greek and Roman populations who have left their mark on Antibes.
