In 122 B.C the Romans conquered Provence and Languedoc. They fortified the hilltop which took the name of Carcaso. But it is only during the X to the XII century that the city became prosperous. In 1355 The Prince Noir burned it down but the city was immediately rebuilt to become the fortress that remains today.
Within these fortified walls there is a beautiful cathedral and a castle.
