Tour de Narbonne, Fortified tower in Montélimar, France.
The Tour de Narbonne stands as a square keep with three levels and walls measuring two meters in thickness, topped by a terrace.
The tower was constructed in the late 12th century by Lambert Adhémar during a period of family division, when he allied with Simon de Montfort.
The structure represents medieval military architecture and defensive techniques, with its strategic position on the southeastern flank of Monteil hill.
The tower received official protection as a historical monument in 1938, and visitors can access it through Rue du Château in Montélimar.
The fortification wall connecting the Tour de Narbonne to the château des Adhémar demonstrates the integrated defense system of medieval Montélimar.
