, Medieval fortress in Carcassonne, France
The Medieval City of Carcassonne extends over 3 kilometers with 52 towers and two concentric stone walls surrounding the historical center.
The site transformed from an Iron Age settlement to a Roman stronghold in the 1st century BCE before becoming a medieval fortress under French control.
The Castle of the Counts houses exhibitions of medieval warfare techniques, architectural elements, and historical artifacts from the 12th century onwards.
Visitors can enter the Medieval City through Narbonnaise Gate or Aude Gate at any time, with guided tours available throughout the year.
The fortress contains a complete medieval defensive system with multiple arrow slits, machicolations, and murder holes integrated into its architecture.
