Château de Vernègues, Heritage castle in Bouches-du-Rhône, France.

The castle site dates back to the 8th century with two fortifications, Castrum de Avallone and Castrum Alvernicum, marking the origins of the structure.
The designation as a historical monument in 1934 emphasizes the heritage value of this medieval structure in Provençal architecture.
