Angevin tower

The Angevin Tower is a medieval defensive structure with a round base and thick stone walls. The building now stands open to visitors and houses various exhibitions inside.

The tower was built in the late Angevin period as part of the city's defense system. Its construction reflects medieval military strategies for protecting settlements.

The tower now serves as a civic gallery for contemporary art, displaying works by regional artists across multiple exhibition spaces. The collection reflects the local artistic community and how this historical structure hosts modern creative expression.

The best times to visit are morning and afternoon hours when light illuminates the interior spaces and exhibitions are easy to see. Check current opening times before your visit, as they may vary seasonally.

Underground tunnels lie beneath this structure, connecting it to other buildings in the city's ancient defense network. This hidden system reveals how the fortifications once communicated with each other.
