Dating from the 13th century, this castle was one of the most important in the county of Foix. It is also one of the most important Iron Age oppida in Ariège. Archaeological excavations have made it possible to trace the history of the site and to uncover the remains of the surrounding walls and towers. The surroundings of this fortress which dominates the Auzat-Vicdessos basin are also worth discovering, in particular the caves and the balmes in which paintings are the subject of a mysticism linked to Catharism. Orientation table with a view of the upper Vicdessos valley.
Guided tours, conferences and educational workshops led by specialists.
