Aurignac - The Old Town

The Old Town

The old part of the town is centred around the remains of the castle dating from the 13th century, including the church, a well-restored keep (donjon), towers, gateways and the parts of the ramparts, some of which have been incorporated into houses. Extending down the hill is the 14th/15th century area, also originally walled.

Famous quotes containing the word town:

    “The time you won your town the race
    We chaired you through the market-place;
    Man and boy stood cheering by,
    And home we brought you shoulder-high.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
