The high roof of the Gothic castle chapel was covered in the 19th century with glazed roof tiles depicting the Crussol family coat of arms. There are two other towers throughout the Duchy: the Tour polygonale and the circular medieval watchtower (Tour ronde de la vigie).

In 1565, Uzès became the first duchy of France. Located in the heart of the city, the duchy belongs to the Crussol family. The buildings of the Ducal Palace, also called the Castle of the Dukes, Château, Palais ducal, Le Duchè, were built during the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the 17th century. The Castle (Château) of the Dukes was extended by three towers (Tours).
