Ville fortifiée historique de Carcassonne. Historic Fortified City of Carcassonne Since the pre-Roman period, a fortified settlement has existed on the hill where Carcassonne now stands.

Ville fortifiée historique de Carcassonne

In its present form it is an outstanding example of a medieval fortified town, with its massive defences encircling the castle and the surrounding buildings, its streets and its fine Gothic cathedral. Carcassonne is also of exceptional importance because of the lengthy restoration campaign undertaken by Viollet-le-Duc, one of the founders of the modern science of conservation.
