In the south of the city (Salindres) is the Bécamel Tower or Becmil Keep, an old signal tower built at the beginning of the 12th century.

The tower is still quite well preserved, including the wall around it.

Hiking

The Tour de Bécamel in Salindres, also known as Donjon de Becmil, is a historic signal tower ruin dating from the early 12th century. It was originally the home of a knightly family called Becmil. In the late 12th century, the site was converted into a stately residence. The Becmil line died out in the 14th century. The tour is located south of the town of Salindres, about 45 km northwest of Nîmes and 7 km northeast of Alès.
