# Tour Barberousse

Gruissan, Aude, Occitanie

Tour Barberousse stands in Gruissan (Aude), in the Occitanie region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second quarter of the 13th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a steep rocky outcrop above the circular village of Gruissan, the Barberousse tower is what remains of a fortified castle built in the second quarter of the 13th century by the Archbishop of Narbonne. The cylindrical keep, still standing with its two vaulted levels, rises above the rooftops, the lagoon and the surrounding salt marshes. Visitors come mainly for the view over the Aude coastline and the round layout of the village below.

**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.
