Château de Duras, Medieval castle in Duras, France
The fortress stands on a rocky hill above the Dropt valley, featuring high walls and four corner towers dominating the surrounding countryside.
The original structure from the 12th century was transformed into a fortified castle during the 14th century with funds from Pope Clement V's family.
The castle's basement contains an archaeological museum displaying agricultural tools, cooperage equipment, and objects related to plum cultivation from past centuries.
The castle organizes seasonal events throughout the year, including 4D presentations, guided tours, and demonstrations of medieval falconry techniques.
Prince Albert II of Monaco visited the castle in 2017, recognizing it as a historical site of Monaco due to Princess Louise's marriage to Prince Honoré IV.
