Château de Peyrepertuse

The ruined fortress of Peyrepertuse - one of the Cathar castles located high in the French Pyrénées - also known as one of the "five sons of Carcassonne" (several castles along the border between France and Spain). The Cathar castles were bastions of the resistance of the south to the French crown of the north. 
 
With many thanks to friend and colleague Iannis Dandouras.
