Solidor Tower in Saint-Malo, France, is a historic maritime fortress located at the mouth of the Rance River. Constructed between 1369 and 1382 by Duke Jean IV of Brittany, the tower was initially built to control the estuary and protect the region from maritime threats. The structure consists of three interconnected towers, forming a triangular shape, and stands approximately 20 meters high. Today, Solidor Tower houses the Museum of Cape Horners, which showcases the history of long-distance sailing and the legendary sailors who navigated Cape Horn.
