360 Properties in Carcassonne
Carcassonne, a fortified city in the Aude department of the Occitanie region in southern France, is a place where history comes alive. Known for its medieval fortress, La Cité de Carcassonne, this UNESCO World Heritage site is a stunning example of medieval architecture. The city’s history dates back to the Gallo-Roman period, but it gained prominence in the Middle Ages. The fortress, with its double-walled fortifications and 53 towers, was restored in the 19th century by architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, preserving its medieval charm. Visitors can explore the narrow cobblestone streets, visit the Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus, and enjoy panoramic views from the ramparts. Carcassonne is also famous for its role in the Albigensian Crusade and its association with the Cathars, a religious group that was persecuted in the 13th century. Today, Carcassonne is a vibrant city that blends its rich history with modern amenities, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the past while enjoying the comforts of the present.
