Puzzling view

In 2013, Marseilles has been elected the European Capital of Culture. Major restoration and construction have given the city a revitalized new look.
The MUCEM is the new museum built at the mouth of the Old Port. This photo was taken from the museum.The building has a modern metallic design, which may remind that the Man with the Iron Mask was once jailed nearby. The view shows the tower of Fort St.Jean, which used to protect the access to the port.
So today's blip accounts how Past and Present intertwined with one another.
