La Cité: Porte Narbonnaise La Cité: Porte Narbonnaise No Data

Description


One of the main entrances into La Cité and the one most heavily used by tourists. This is a major fortification with multiple rings of defence topped off by an enormous gatehouse. From the lower town only the top of the gate is visible from certain locations as the gate faces away from modern Carcassonne, the access road from the Pont Vieux curves up the side of La Cité creating quite a gentle ascent up the hill.
