MartinJEley visited on 31st Jan 1999 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 5 Carcassonne is an impressive fortress with many interesting areas to visit. The history of the region is reflected in many places, including the Abbey. My time there was limited and I would go back to see more if the opportunity were to arise.
TheCaptain visited on 15th Sep 1978 Ancient citadel which goes back as far as time. Although the main remains of this fantastic fairy story city are now medieval much of the walls can be seen to date back to Visigoth and Roman times. This is of course, all built upon a citadel which was here long before any of them came here.
