Foix Castle

 

French



Foix castle was situated on top of a hill. Built in the XI century, its position was strategically chosen to defend the river that passed very near, and the whole town. Foix Castle was said to be "indestructible" and it proved to be that way for more than two centuries centuries until, in 1272, it was taken by force by French king Philippe the Bold.

Foix castle remained a prison until 1862; today, it's a museum.
