Château d'Évol, Medieval castle in Évol, France.
The castle features a quadrilateral enclosure of 40 meters per side with four circular towers and a central keep on the northern wall.
In 1260, King James of Aragon granted the lordship to his son Guillaume de So, marking the beginning of the castle's construction.
The walls of the castle demonstrate the use of squared schist masonry, representing the traditional building methods of the Eastern Pyrenees.
Visitors can reach the castle through a hiking path that extends one kilometer uphill from the village of Évol.
The residential section contained three connected rooms along the western wall, with both east and west walls featuring small defensive gates.
