THE Château d'If is a French castle built by order of King Francis I between 1527 and 1529 on the islet of If in the Frioul archipelago, near the islands of Ratonneau and Pomègues in the heart of the harbor of Marseille.

It is a three-story square building, 28 meters long on each side, flanked by three towers pierced by large embrasures. The rest of the island, which covers only 3 hectares, is very solidly defended by high walls, topped with artillery platforms.

It was primarily used as a prison during its 400 years of official existence. Alexandre Dumas's novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, made it famous, and it is one of Marseille's most visited sites.
