Sauveterre-de-Guyenne, Medieval bastide in Gironde, France
The town features four stone tower gates positioned at cardinal points and surrounds a central market square lined with stone houses and arcades.
Founded in 1281 by King Edward I of England, Sauveterre-de-Guyenne changed hands between French and English control ten times until 1451.
The central market square maintains its medieval character with stone buildings and ground-level arcades that now house local businesses and shops.
The commune extends over 131.75 square kilometers and contains modern facilities including an intergenerational residence and public swimming pool.
The city preserves its original 13th-century checkerboard street layout, demonstrating the mathematical precision of medieval urban planning.
