The shape it held in its prime.
A multi-tiered medieval fortress of grey granite set on a rocky spur encircled by the Nançon river; three concentric curtain walls step up the slope, pierced by roughly a dozen cylindrical towers and several larger round keeps, many topped with conical stone or slate roofs and crenellated parapets. Ramparts link the towers with visible walkways and arrow slits; the lower walls face a dense cluster of town roofs below. At prime condition all enclosures, towers and walkways are complete and continuous.
