# Château de Tautavel

Tautavel, Pyrénées-Orientales, Occitanie

Château de Tautavel stands in Tautavel (Pyrénées-Orientales), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the heights above Tautavel, in the Pyrénées-Orientales, stand the remains of a medieval stronghold first recorded in the early 11th century. French forces blew it up after the Treaty of the Pyrenees, leaving only stretches of wall foundations and the base of a round tower. The site's interest lies in its spur position, guarded by a sheer rock face to the west and a cut ditch to the east. Visitors come mainly for the view and the atmosphere of a hilltop ruin rather than for intact architecture.

**Practical details not verified yet.** We know this château and where it is, but we have not yet checked its opening hours or prices at the source. We would rather tell you than display something we are unsure of.
