Kościół zbudowany na wzgórzu w drugiej połowy XV w. Wewnątrz możemy podziwiać piękny ołtarz Wniebowzięcia NMP, kapliczkę przedstawiającą śmierć św. Franciszka oraz niesamowicie wyglądające sklepienie. Kościół posiada wieże z romańską podstawę oraz zegarem. Roztacza się z niej piękny widok na miasto. Jest to najstarszy kościół w mieście.

Nice place in the heart of town. Due to the small winding alleys it is very hard to get up here and enjoy the view. Still worth a try though.

Cháteau Comtal

The Château Comtal (Count’s Castle) is a medieval castle within the Cité of Carcassonne, the largest city in Europe with its city walls still intact. The Château Comtal has a strong claim to be called a 'Cathar Castle'. When the Catholic Crusader army arrived in 1209 they first attacked Raymond-Roger Trencavel's castrum at Bèziers and then moved on to his main stronghold at Carcassonne.

The castle with rectangular shape is separated from the city by a deep ditch and defended by two barbicans. There are six towers curtain walls.

The castle was restored in 1853 by the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. It was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997.
