Castle of Carcassonne/Castillo Carcassonne

The castle is one of the most formidable fortification unit that can still be found in Europe. Considered as a genuine stone anthology, the castle has so many features that are fit to be discovered and explored. You will be amazed by the three kilometres of ramparts and the forty turns that can be found in the castle premises. The two monumental doors of the castle itself, its staircases, weepholes, posterns and baffles are also great monuments that make the structure one of the best attractions that comprise the tourism of Carcassonne. The outer doors, the nine turns in the castle, the labyrinth-like notched and covered ways, the courtines in the ditches as well as the breteched in the watch towers are also among the best examples of military architecture in the Middle Ages.
