The Château de Bonaguil is one of the most impressive castles in France.
Perched on a rocky spur on the border of Lot-et-Garonne and Quercy, it was entirely modernized at the end of the Middle Ages to withstand early artillery. With its drawbridges, towers, moats, and immense keep, this 7,500-square-meter fortress is considered one of the last great masterpieces of medieval military architecture... and remarkably, it has never been taken by storm.
