Cité de Carcassonne

The Cité is the walled medieval town on a hill above the Aude in Carcassonne, ringed by two lines of walls about 3 km long with 52 towers. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc restored it in the 19th century, and it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. The ticketed visit covers the 12th-century castle and a walk on the ramparts.
