Château de Tarascon
Château de Tarascon is a medieval stone fortress on the right bank of the Rhône in Tarascon, Bouches-du-Rhône, France. Reconstructed in the early 15th century for the Anjou family and completed under René of Anjou, it became a royal residence, later a prison, and today is preserved as a historic monument and museum.

As it stood in 1449
The shape it held in its prime.
The castle is a square-plan stone fortress of pale Beaucaire limestone sited on the right bank of the Rhône opposite Château de Beaucaire. Its silhouette is dominated by a square stone keep, a semicircular chapel tower on the riverside, and terraces crowning the walls. Residential ranges of three storeys surround a relatively small central courtyard and display projecting turrets and spiral staircases on the eastern facade; the first two floors have French ceilings and the top storey is vaulted. Completed 1449, intact at its prime.
