Castries, Medieval commune in Hérault, France
Located 11.8 kilometers east of Montpellier, Castries extends across 124 square kilometers of Mediterranean landscape at 70 meters above sea level.
The first lord of the feudal castle was Dalmace, a knight who joined the First Crusade before the fief transferred to Guilhem VII of Montpellier.
The municipality maintains strong connections with Italian town Volpiano through humanitarian initiatives and frequent cultural exchanges between both communities.
The town center provides administrative services, weekly markets, and digital platforms for residents to access municipal information and complete official procedures.
Pierre-Paul Riquet designed an engineering marvel, the stone aqueduct that supplied water to the Château de Castries through an intricate system.
