Barcelonnette, Alpine commune in Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, France
Located at 1,135 meters in altitude, Barcelonnette sits at the confluence of the Southern Alps, surrounded by peaks reaching over 3,000 meters.
Ramon Berenguer IV, Count of Provence, established Barcelonnette as a market town in 1231, granting it privileges for self-governance and defense.
Between 1850 and 1950, numerous residents emigrated to Mexico and returned to build distinctive villas with colonial architecture known as 'maisons mexicaines'.
The town connects to major cities through the A51 highway, with Marseille Provence Airport located 145 kilometers away and Gap train station within an hour's drive.
The Cardinalis Tower, a 40-meter-high 14th-century structure, stands as the central landmark of Place Manuel, featuring medieval architectural elements.
