based on 20 reviews"The castle of Saint-Malo is a fortress of the sea, built on an island in the sea, surrounded by high walls and towers, looks very lonely. In ancient times he must be an important sea fortress, although it is now abandoned, but still let everyone remember its important and suffocating in ancient times."Saint Malo.Intra-Muros268m from downtownCastlesHistorical SitesHighlights: A symbol of first ducal power and then royal power, the castle of Saint-Malo is connected to the tower of Quic-en-Groigne. There you can see the architectural façade of the barracks of the 17th and 18th centuries, which today houses the municipal government, the cistern, the large main tower of the castle and the small puppet theatre. The small main tower of the castle was built in 1395 next to the old enclosure. The main tower of the castle, built in 1424, overlooks the castle, and from the lookout tower, you can see a beautiful panorama of the city, harbour, coast and sea. Outside the castle, the corner towers were built in the 15th and 16th centuries, and the chapel and "prison cell" were built in the 17th century. Inside the city walls are luxurious stone dwellings, where you can feel the wealth and prosperity that pirates brought to the city. The visit takes about an hour and a half.Show Less
