Highlights of Aigues-Mortes Fortress

Wander through the magnificent stone stronghold of Aigues-Mortes at your leisure and delve into the rich history of Medieval France. Erected in the 13th century, these historically significant walls served as the launching point for the French Crusades, and they have remarkably endured through the centuries.

The fortifications of Aigues-Mortes consist of over 5,300 feet (1,634 meters) of robust defensive walls that link twenty distinctive towers. Among them, the Tour de Saint Louise and the Tour de Constance stand out, both notable for their historical use as places of imprisonment for French Protestants during the 17th century.
