Towers and ramparts of Aigues-Mortes

AIGUES-MORTES , Gard – Cultural heritage

About

Climb the Saint Louis keep and survey the 1,640-meter ramparts that encircle the town of Aigues-Mortes, dominating the panorama of the Camargue and the salt marsh!

A 13th-century fortified enclosure built on the initiative of Louis IX.

The 1634-meter-long ramparts encircle the town, and are flanked by 10 gates and 6 towers. The Tour de Constance is one of the most majestic examples of medieval architecture. It is also infamous for having served as a prison for Protestant women from 1685 onwards.

Visit the permanent exhibitions on St. Louis & the Mediterranean, architecture, decor and Protestant history.
