It was founded in the first century BC by the Romans as Colonia Julia Carcasso on a hill to the right of the river Aude and more than 2000 years his image is synonymous with power combined with a unique scenograficità, so as to make it also ideal setting for many films set in medieval times. Surrounded by a double ring of crenellated walls with as many as 52 towers, separated by a space were said Les Lices where even today you run tournaments in costume, with a splendid castle, a beautiful Gothic cathedral, roads and streets full of old houses, can be seen as a compendium of all that is the Middle Ages. His appearance 'perfect' is due to a major, dare I say even heavy restoration work of the early '800 with coverage of many of the towers with black slate, material characteristic of northern France, in place of the original red tiles . Today 'La Cite' and in the list of monuments, heritage site by UNESCO.Recommended equipment : Wide Shot, mediotele. But also something more slender considering the excellent opportunities for street photography.Best months : Council on the spring or autumnHow to get there : Situated in the Aude department, of which it is the capital, in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon. From the Italian border at Ventimiglia continue towards France, passing through the city of Nice, Aix-En-Provence, Arles, Nimes, Montpellier, Narbonne. Arriving near the latter continue towards Toulouse.Visits : The entrance to the city is of course free, if you wish to visit the interior of the castle and walk over the walls must comply with schedules and you pay a ticket (if I remember correctly about 10 euro per person)Notes :
