Château de Fitou, Medieval castle in Fitou, France
The stone walls of Château de Fitou rise above the village on a strategic hill position, with ancient fortifications still marking the perimeter.
The castle served as a defensive stronghold during medieval times, protecting the region from invasions through its elevated position overlooking the Mediterranean coast.
The castle grounds hold exhibits of medieval artifacts, including a collection of period instruments and detailed representations of historical scenes through wax figures.
Due to ownership changes since 2015, visitors cannot access the interior spaces of the castle but can observe its exterior structure from multiple vantage points.
The castle collection includes displays of unusual party scenes with mannequins wearing distinctive costumes, such as animal-headed figures and pearl-decorated garments.
