Remparts d'Aigues-Mortes

Visite.org 30220 Aigues-Mortes (Gard)
On the swampy grounds of the Camargue stands the fortress of Aigues-Mortes, which was built ex nihilo by Saint Louis in the 13th century, in order to provide the kingdom of France with a port by the Mediterranean Sea. It took under 50 years to construct the Constance tower, one of the most magnificent keeps from the Middle Ages, and the 1634-metre long ramparts flanked by 20 towers. After a flourishing period, the city survived with difficulty and the Constance tower became regrettably well-known for being used in 1685 as a prison for protestant women of the Cévennes. It had already served as a prison for the Templars since 1307 and was due to do so until 1768. Most of the medieval environment of the city has been preserved and can still be appreciated today.
