Carcassonne is a fortified city in southern France, located in the Occitanie region. The city is renowned for its medieval citadel, the Cité de Carcassonne, which was restored in the 19th century by architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. This UNESCO World Heritage site stands as one of the best-preserved medieval walled cities in Europe.
The fortifications consist of two outer walls, 53 towers, and barbicans built over a significant period from Gallo-Roman times to the 13th century. The city played a significant role during the Albigensian Crusade and has been an important cultural and historical center in the region.
Beyond its military architecture, Carcassonne showcases various architectural styles, from Romanesque to Gothic, particularly in its Saint-Nazaire Basilica.
