Historic Fortified City of Carcassonne
World Heritage
France
🎧 Listen to Introduction
There has been a fortification on the hill where Carcassonne now stands since before Roman times. Its present appearance is an outstanding example of a medieval fortified city, with its massive ramparts surrounding the citadel and surrounding buildings, streets and fine Gothic cathedral. Carcassonne is also of special importance due to the long-term restoration campaign carried out by Viollet-le-Duc, one of the founders of modern conservation science.
