La Citadelle de Sisteron
To secure the road between the Alps and the Mediterranean, La Citadelle de Sisteron was strategically built on a rocky ridge 500 m (1,640 ft) above sea level between Dauphine and Durance. Examine the impressive construction--a collection of miscellaneous structures resulting from modernization and various embellishments. The upper wall, walkway, and clock tower date back to the 12th century. Make La Citadelle de Sisteron part of your personalized Sisteron itinerary using our Sisteron online route planner.

This is one of the best place we have visited in south of France. Citadelle is beautiful. And the view from the top is mesmerising. 🏞️🏰🏞️🏰🏞️

Magnificent panoramic views from the top. Climb is moderate but worth it. Audio points are there in multiple languages to let you know about the history. Great experience 👍
