Visit the Porte des Tours, the most imposing gateway to the bastide town of Domme: former guard room and Templar prison.
The Porte des Tours, dating from the early 14th century, is the most imposing of the bastide's three gates (its towers are 8.50 m in diameter!). These two half-towers were used as a guard room, but also as a prison for 70 Templars. In fact, it contains some mysterious and remarkable graffiti... The mystery of who did them, and what they mean, remains, and adds a little more excitement to the discovery of these historical testimonies. A guided tour is highly recommended to learn more about this unique place.

Remarquable dans sa monumentalité et surprenante pour une petite cité sans grand intérêt stratégique. l'intérieur vaut aussi le détour.

Ayant visité hors saison, je n'ai pas pu prendre la visite néanmoins des plaques explicatives sont largement posées.
