Castles and Forts of France

This collection highlights the diverse military and royal architecture of Southern France, spanning the Middle Ages to the 16th century. It features the 14th-century Palais des Papes in Avignon, the unique Catalan-style brickwork of Fort de Salses, and the clifftop strongholds of Foix and Najac. The list covers various defensive styles, including the coastal Château Royal de Collioure and the well-preserved Château de Tarascon. These sites illustrate the evolution of regional power, from the seats of the Anjou dynasty to strategic border fortifications near the Pyrenees.
