The Fortified Cité of Carcassonne, 1300
In 1300 Carcassonne is a royal frontier fortress above the Aude, its two concentric rings of stone and more than fifty towers holding the road to Aragon. The walk passes the Pont Vieux to the bastide, mounts the Porte Narbonnaise and the barbican, circles the lices between the walls, and meets the Chateau Comtal, the basilica of Saint‑Nazaire, garrison men and cloth workers within the walls.
35 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Carcassonne as it stood in 1300 (“Cité de Carcassonne”).
