On the border of the "Dauphiné" and Provence, with its bastions, its outer walls, its keep, the Citadel dominate the town of Sisteron.
Henri IV used to say "It is the most powerful fortress of my kingdom".
Perched on a narrow outcrop, the Citadelle de Sisteron offers visitors an exceptional panorama and eight centuries of architecture and history! Suitable for any audiences with many events, this unique place hosts in particular the famous "Nuits de la Citadelle" festival.
There are 3 ways to get to the citadel: a 15-minute walk from the town center via one of the signposted routes, by mini-train during the summer season (departure from the Tourist Office) or by car (free parking nearby).
