Origin and history

Forbin Castle, located in Solliès-Ville in the Var department, is a monument listed among the Historical Monuments. Its ruins, protected by a decree of 22 June 1920, now belong to the commune. Although its detailed history is not specified in the available sources, its ranking attests to its heritage and architectural importance for the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

In the Var, the Middle Ages and later times, castles played a central role in the territorial organization. They often served as defence points, seigneurial residences or symbols of local power. The Forbin Castle, like other similar buildings, probably fits into this context, reflecting the social and political dynamics of the region throughout the centuries.

Its present state of ruins suggests a long history, marked by progressive transformations or abandonments.
