The ruins of Castellas de Belvézet preserve a 13th-century keep mentioned in charters from 1207, when it belonged to the lord of Uzès. The site reveals successive phases of its construction: the keep's lower section, built in hard limestone, contrasts with the upper levels and surrounding walls, which were constructed more roughly. Around the keep stood a large hall, an inner enclosure flanked by four semicircular towers at its corners, and other buildings, forming a complex defensive ensemble.
