Origin and history

La Maison Olivari, also known as Maison des Templiers, is located in the commune of La Tour, in the Alpes-Maritimes department (06). This monument is included in the inventory of Historic Monuments, with a specific protection on its facade adorned with gemini windows, a remarkable architectural element.

The official inscription of the façade by order of 2 May 1927 bears witness to the heritage importance of this building. Although its precise history and possible connection with the Templars are not detailed in the available sources, its designation and protection suggest a medieval past or a local tradition associated with this religious order. The location, in a Provencal village, evokes a rural and historical context marked by stone constructions and architecture adapted to the Mediterranean climate.

Available data indicate that the exact location of the monument is approximate, with an accuracy considered "passible" (note 5/10). The address mentioned in the Merimée base corresponds to the municipality of La Tour, while GPS coordinates suggest a proximity to the place called Le Castellar. No information is provided on its current accessibility, whether visitation, rental or accommodation.
