Castles · 5/16/2009 · Original language: Russian
One of the so-called "Cathar Castles," built on a rock at an altitude of 700 meters.
It was strategically useful until 1659, due to its proximity to the French-Spanish border.
The loopholes are deliberately arranged asymmetrically so that any point at the entrance is under fire.
