The Cité de Carcassonne, France

THE CITE DE CARCASSONNE (France)

The Cité de Carcassonne is a medieval citadel located in the southern French city on a hill that has been fortified since the pre-Roman period. It was restored at the end of the 19th century; with its massive defenses encircling the castle, the surrounding buildings, the streets, and the Gothic cathedral, it is an exceptional example of a medieval fortress town.
