Tips
This real limestone wall, one kilometer long and eighty meters high, constantly undermined by the river and the frost, has been hollowed out with a hundred rock shelters and long aerial terraces; these natural cavities were occupied by prehistoric man and then modified to become a fort and a city from the Middle Ages until the beginning of the Renaissance.
