Château de Tayac, Medieval castle in Les Eyzies, France.
The Château de Tayac rises on a limestone cliff platform, featuring a grand semicircular archway entrance and defensive walls extending over the precipice.
Built in the 13th century as Roc de Tayac, the castle changed hands between English and French forces during the Hundred Years' War.
The castle site contains significant archaeological findings from the Magdalenian and Azilian periods, connecting medieval architecture with prehistoric human presence.
The castle holds collections of the National Museum of Prehistory and remains accessible through guided tours during heritage days.
Parts of the castle structure are carved directly into the rock face, with interior rooms and corridors integrated into the natural limestone formation.
