Description

Het eiland If, de kleinste van de archipel van Marseille, is beroemd dankzij François I die het in 1516 bezocht en, bewust van de strategische ligging van het eiland, in 1524 besloot er een vesting van te maken. In 1634 werd het een staatsgevangenis die prinsen, zonen van opstandige families (Mirabeau), protestanten, politieke gevangenen, revolutionairen enz.... herbergde. In 1890 werd het opengesteld aan het publiek en kwam het onder monumentenzorg. Vanuit alle hoeken van de wereld komt men kijken op zoek naar sporen van l’abbé Faia en Edmond Dantès, de beroemde helden uit het boek van Alexandre Dumas, ‘De Graaf van Monte-Cristo’.
