Château de Miglos, Medieval castle in Miglos, France
The castle remains stand on a limestone outcrop at 779 meters elevation, overlooking the valleys of Miglos and Vicdessos in Ariège department.
First mentioned in 1213 as part of fortifications owned by Raymond-Roger, Count of Foix, the castle underwent major restoration work in 1320.
The fortress represented a key element in the defense network of the upper Foix county, connecting with neighboring castles to protect regional territories.
The elliptical platform supporting the castle extends 100 meters in length and 30 meters in width, with the main structure measuring 22 by 24 meters.
The southeast tower, originally 19 meters tall, contained a rectangular keep, while the northwest tower housed a dungeon at ground level.
