This viewpoint offers an unobstructed view of the Barberousse Tower, perched on its limestone promontory on the edge of the Gruissan pond. The current tower, built between 1245 and 1247 by the Archbishop of Narbonne, Guillaume de Broa, is the main remnant of the medieval castle that monitored maritime access to the Narbonne sector.
