Château de Rognes, Medieval castle in Rognes, France
The castle sits atop the Foussa hill, featuring multiple stone walls, ancient foundations, and remnants of defensive structures from different construction periods.
Built around 1150, the castle underwent significant changes until 1595 when the French Catholic League forces dismantled its fortifications during religious conflicts.
The site includes notable troglodyte dwellings carved into rock faces, representing traditional Provençal architectural practices and living arrangements of medieval times.
The castle ruins, registered as a historic monument since 1929, offer free access to visitors who can explore various archaeological remains throughout the year.
Archaeological discoveries indicate human presence on Foussa hill dating back 100,000 years, evidenced by numerous flint remains found at the site.
