Carcassonne- wall and towers - a photo on Flickriver

            Carcassonne was fortified by the Romans, then later occupied by the Visigoths.  Ultimately it became a fortified site under the Viscount Trencavel, a vassal of the King of Aragon.  It was besieged by the King of France and fell in the midst of the efforts to subdue the Cathars (an aescetic religious sect which was declared heretical) and bring Occitan under the control of the King of France.  The main features of the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries, as restored in the 19th by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc when the ruinous fortification was in danger of being demolished by the French government.
