With its tree-lined squares, fountains, and narrow streets, Capestang is a lively village with a typical Mediterranean atmosphere. The village is located just twenty kilometers from the sea. Who would suspect, passing through, that its fate was long linked to the harvesting of sea salt? Indeed, the pond that gave it its name, "Lou Cap de l'estang" (meaning "the head of the pond"), brought wealth to the town around the 14th century. Largely dried up today, it is reborn with the rains and floods, creating a protected wetland landscape classified as a Natura 2000 site, where various species of birds and flamingos come to nest. Thanks to its salt marshes, its fertile land, and its geographical location at the crossroads of trade routes, Capestang experienced its golden age in the Middle Ages. From this rich historical past remain unique monuments that make Capestang such a singular city, where life is good.
