Perched on a volcanic outcrop above the village and the Escoutay valley, the château at Alba-la-Romaine combines an 11th-century keep with a wing added in the 17th century by the La Beaume de Suze family. Old gateways, watchtowers and traces of ramparts recall its past as a stronghold, while the interiors, refurbished in the late 19th century, reflect a more domestic chapter of its history. The site now hosts contemporary art exhibitions and concerts during the season.
