Château de Mirabat, Medieval castle on a ridge in Seix, France.
The stone fortress stands at the western end of Mirabat ridge, controlling access points to three valleys in the Ariège department.
Charlemagne ordered the construction of Mirabat around the 10th century to protect communication routes during military expeditions into neighboring territories.
Local inhabitants who participated in building the castle received the status of free men from Charlemagne as recognition for their contribution.
The hiking trail to reach the castle starts from Azas and takes approximately four hours through diverse landscapes including beech forests.
A Roman amphora fragment discovered in the water tank suggests an earlier occupation of the site than previously documented.
