CHATEAU ET REMPARTS DE LA CITE DE CARCASSONNE

Cité médiévale de Carcassonne

The imposing fortifications of the city of Carcassonne occupy a rocky spur that dominates the course of the Aude. Occupied since the 6th century BC, Carcassonne was a Roman city before being a medieval city. It bears witness to 1000 years of military architecture and 2600 years of history.

Ultimate defense, the castle comtal was built in the XIIth century by the Trencavel, viscounts of Carcassonne, and was constantly modified during the following centuries.

A rich and varied visit is offered including many exclusive spaces : ramparts, hourds, projection room, lapidary museum.
