Château de Vaison-la-Romaine

Château de Vaison-la-Romaine was originally a wooden tower erected in 1185 to assert the power of Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse. It was transformed in the 13th century into a fortified building comprising three main buildings and a square keep surrounding an inner courtyard. In 1274, it became a pontifical possession until 1791.

Solidly built on a rocky outcrop, overlooking the town, it can be seen from all sides as an unmissable landmark. From its forecourt, a magnificent panorama awaits you. On the heights around the castle, you can enjoy the sumptuous views, but the castle itself is not open to visitors.
