    The “Tour de Constance” served mainly as a prison for Protestants during the Huguenot Wars. Today it is one of the symbols of the city.

    The Tour de Constance was built from 1242 in Aigues-Mortes, by Saint Louis, on the former site of the Tour Matafère, built by Charlemagne around 790, to accommodate the king's garrison.
    This construction is part of the transformation of Aigues-Mortes into a strategic point with a port opening onto the Mediterranean Sea.

    Aigues-Mortes has an impressive old town and is one of the largest still preserved medieval fortress towns (Wikipedia) The main attraction is the completely preserved city wall with the defense tower "Tour de Constance". The battlement on the city wall is accessible; from it you have a beautiful view of the streets of the city, which are arranged like a chessboard
