Low angle view of Comtal Castle with the square Pinte Tower on the left, the Justice Tower on the right, seen from the Aude Gate, Citadel of Carcassonne, Aude, France, pictured on February 24, 2007, in the afternoon. The two outer walls of the concentric fortified city are defended by towers and barbicans, and a draw bridge across a moat leads to the keep of the castle. Carcassonne was a stronghold of Occitan Cathars during the Albigensian Crusades but was captured by Simon de Montfort in 1209. He added extra fortifications and Carcassonne became a citadel on the French border with Aragon. The fortress restored in 1853 by Eugene Viollet-le-Duc. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
