Remparts de Montferrand, Medieval fortifications in Montferrand, France.
The Montferrand ramparts extend for nearly one kilometer with thirteen preserved towers and walls two meters thick.
Built from the 12th century, these walls protected the town for five centuries during conflicts between the counts of Auvergne and Clermont.
The fortifications demonstrate medieval military construction techniques with their discharge arches and semi-cylindrical towers integrated into the curtain wall.
Visitors can examine the best-preserved sections along Montplaisir Street and Fossés sous la Rodade Street.
The four historical gates of the city included a water gate crossed by a canal that supplied residents with drinking water.
