RAMPARTS – VILLEFRANCHE DE CONFLENT

About

Please note: Last admission: 1 hour before closing time Founded in 1092 by Count Guillaume Raymond de Cerdagne, in a strategic location in the Tet valley at the foot of the Canigó mountain, Villefranche has preserved intact its fortified walls, built between the 11th and 19th centuries. Take a tour of the interior and appreciate the ingenuity of the successive defensive systems. The strategic importance of the city, already recognised in the Middle Ages, was reinforced after the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659), when Louis XIV commissioned Vauban to complete Villefranche’s defences and turn it into a stronghold. You can download the OpenArt Go! application onto your mobile phone for more information and a virtual treasure hunt. July-August: Mondays and Wednesdays at 9pm: guided tour at La Lanterne While you wait for the real tour, take a virtual tour of the ramparts and the city: https://visitezlepayscatalan.fr/villefranche-de-conflent/remparts.html
