Cité de Carcassonne, Most Beautiful Fortified Medieval City in France, Rain Walk, Historic 4K UHD

One of the most beautiful and well preserved World Heritage Site.. Cité de Carcassonne... its main entrance door Porte Narbonnaise is approx 2km away from Carcassone Railway station(SNCF). The Cité, a medieval village still inhabited, has 52 towers and 2 concentric enclosures which total 3km of ramparts. It has free access day and night, through the Porte Narbonnaise and the Porte d'Aude.
The Cité de Carcassonne:
The Cité de Carcassonne is a medieval citadel located in the French city of Carcassonne, in the Aude department, Occitanie region. It is situated on a hill on the right bank of the River Aude, in the southeast part of the city proper. The citadel was restored at the end of the 19th century and in 1997 it was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites because of its exceptional testimony to the architecture and planning of a medieval fortress town.
The Porte Narbonnaise:
Main entrance door to the Medieval City. Built around 1280, it is made up of two huge spur towers. The Narbonnaise gate, located to the east, was built around 1280 during the reign of Philippe III the Bold and is made up of two enormous spur towers. It owes its name to its orientation towards Narbonne. In the 19th century Viollet-le-Duc reconstructed the crenellations and the slate roof and provided it with a pseudo drawbridge which did not originally exist.
Carcassonne:
Carcassonne is a French fortified city in the department of Aude, in the region of Occitanie. Inhabited since the Neolithic, Carcassonne is located in the plain of the Aude between historic trade routes, linking the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea and the Massif Central to the Pyrénées. Its strategic importance was quickly recognized by the Romans, who occupied its hilltop until the demise of the Western Roman Empire.
Porte de l'Aude:
(have a look at this video) • Carcassonne, Pont Vieu...
Gateway to the city and with a typically medieval appearance. Very picturesque route and magnificent viewpoint over the ramparts. To the west, the Porte d'Aude faces the river of the same name. It is located near the count's castle. This door is extended by the barbican of the Aude, partly destroyed in 1816 to build the Saint-Gimer church. Only the ramp surrounded by crenellated walls remains. This door, with a typically medieval appearance, has served as the backdrop for many film shoots such as The Visitors, Robin des Bois: Prince of Thieves or Le Corniaud.
Basilica of Saints Nazarius and Celsus:
The "Jewel of the City" (XIth-XIVth century). Saint-Nazaire is a case of harmonious coexistence between Romanesque and Gothic whose stained glass windows are the most beautiful in the South. Mass every Sunday at 11 a.m. The first authentic deed mentioning this church dates from 925. In 1096 Pope Urbain II came to Carcassonne and blessed the stones of Saint-Nazaire and Saint Celse Cathedral. The building was completed in the first half of the 12th century. Redesigned several times, it lost its cathedral status in 1801 in favor of the Saint-Michel church located in the Bastide. In 1898 it received the title of Basilica granted by Pope Leo XIII.

[@peggyannenicholl7318]

I also wish there was something to tell approx how old the houses and streets are, they are beautiful

[@walknexplore]

This medieval city's restoration took place in 1853 and its history tell us that its fortification, construction of the cathedral begins in 1096, followed by the castle and then houses in 12th century😃. During archaeological research, public refuge called "Oppidum Carcaso" was discovered next to Carcassonne. and this has been fortified in 300 BC. it means this city witness more than 2500 years of history😃😃 Amazing isn't it!!😃

[@dipankarchatterjee9416]

It’s very pretty but wondering who lives there full time if anyone? Are all these houses or residences occupied or these are preserved for history? If people do live then do they send their children to schools? Universities? Doctors? Fire fighters? Grocery stores? Municipal government?

[@walknexplore]

Yes, there are residents, tourists, business owners living there and there is a modern age town just at the footsteps of this fortified city😃 Thanks for visiting😊🌼🌸

[@DavidGarrick1515]

I think Mon St. Michel is more interesting and beautiful ! It,s only my opinion 😜
