If you love medieval citadels and are used to be amazed by castles, walls and ramparts, what will you do when you arrive in Carcassonne?

Fully restored in the XIX century, the medieval citadel also retains a part of the walls from the Gallo-Roman era.

Among other things, it was the last stronghold of the Cathars, later conquered by Simon de Monfort.

In the following centuries, Carcassonne submitted to the power of the king of France, until gradually its importance was reduced and the fortifications abandoned.

Indeed, in the XIX century it was thought to demolish the entire city, making it a quarry for materials.

Instead was completely rebuilt and became, among other things, a case study in the field of restoration, an emblem of what is considered stylistic restoration.
