Perched on a rocky spur above the entrance to the Tarn gorges, the ruins of Peyrelade castle have overlooked the valley since the 12th century. Once among the most significant strongholds of the old Rouergue region, the site retains a striking enclosure wall and a rock-top keep reached via a round tower. Visitors come both for the sweeping view over the gorges and for the medieval military architecture still visible in the stonework.
