In the midst of the French countryside on the Spanish border lays a tiny town with an important historical significance. Meet Carcassonne – a home of the largest fortified city in Europe. Its citadel, the Cite de Carcassonne, is a medieval fortress dating back to 12th century of the Gallo-Roman period. Importantly, it has been added to the UNESCO list of the World Heritage Sites. The uniqueness of this place lays in its restoration process carried out in the second half of the 19th century. The magnitude of the fortress with its fairytale collections of towers, drawbridges, artifacts, and atmospheric cobbled streets left us speechless. The unforgettable experience of walking along the fortress’ walls with the panoramic 360C view of the city as well as the view of the castle from the distance are the memories we will cherish forever.
