Description

Le mont Faron est un sommet calcaire, faisant partie des monts toulonnais, qui culmine à 584 mètres et surplombe la ville de Toulon, dans le Var .Un réseau de fortifications défensives datant des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles est toujours visible ; il servait à la défense des accès maritimes puis terrestres au port militaire de la ville. Neuf forts veillent sur la rade : le fort Saint-Antoine, la tour de l'Ubac, la tour Beaumont, le Sanctuaire de Notre-Dame du Faron , le retranchement de Leydet, la caserne du Centre, le fort de la Croix-Faron, l'Impluvium et le fort Faron. La tour Beaumont a été construite en 1845 pour défendre et surveiller le débouché des gorges nord du mont, elle est maintenant aménagée en musée Mémorial du Débarquement des Alliés du 15 août 1944.
