Roquemartine, Medieval fortress in Eyguières, France.
The castle stands on limestone cliffs, featuring a fortress complex with remnants of towers, walls, and an adjacent Saint-Sauveur church.
Built in the 12th century by the Albe de Tarascon family, the castle controlled the passage between the Durance valley and the Alpilles mountains.
The castle received support from the Heritage Foundation in 2022 through the Heritage Lottery program to fund its preservation efforts.
The Friends of Castellas de Roquemartine association organizes guided tours with medieval architecture experts from Aix-Marseille University.
The fortress location served as a toll collection point, generating revenue that funded its architectural development throughout the medieval period.
