The "royal castle" of Najac, built in the 13th century, is the work of Alphonse de Poitiers, brother of Saint-Louis. Listed as a "historical monument", this castle was part of a network of royal castles located in the valley of the Aveyron. It is the manifestation of the royal authority on Najac after the Cathar era. The Templars were imprisoned in the pit of a low well in the castle after their arrest in 1307.
