Forteresse de Mornas
Forteresse de Mornas, Medieval fortress in Mornas, France
The fortress spans 200 meters in length and 70 meters in width, positioned 150 meters above the Rhône River on a limestone cliff.
Built in the 11th century to control the Rhône Valley, the fortress changed hands multiple times between the Counts of Toulouse and the Archbishopric of Arles.
