Donjon de Barjac, Medieval castle in Barjac, France.
The Barjac Castle consists of three distinct sections: a cubic main building, a southwest wing, and a medieval tower at the southeast end.
The original fortress evolved from a 12th-century fortified castle and underwent reconstruction following the Peace of Alès in 1629.
The castle now houses the town hall and functions as a cultural venue for exhibitions, art classes, and musical performances throughout the year.
The renovated castle includes a public library, cinema hall, and reception spaces converted from former stables and kitchen areas.
The medieval tower retains its walkway with battlements, marking the location of the first communal rampart constructed in 1379.
