Views of Marseille (2)

[zakath_nath]

This time it's not exactly Marseille but If, the smallest island of the Frioul Archipelago about a mile offshore of the town. The island is famous because the main character of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas was imprisoned here. The fortress was built between 1524 and 1531 during the reign of Francis I. It became a prison later.
