고대 카타르 성의 폐허는 아름다운 산악 마을 Roquefixade 위로 가파르게 솟아 있습니다. 이미 1050년에 처음 언급되었습니다.

The most distinctive feature in the design of Celtic crosses is the surrounding circle that connects the crossbars and the vertical beams. This circle is sometimes interpreted as a symbol for the sun; in accordance with this symbolism, Celtic crosses are sometimes also referred to as sun crosses. I found the following meditative reflection on this topic in the hospital chaplaincy of the Protestant deanery of Nassauer Land: "The sun cross is a special symbol of Celtic Christianity. It can become a symbol for spirituality. + What you can practice – the horizontal arm of the cross. Your conscious rituals, prayers, and moments of silence. The attention you give to the sacred. + What happens to you – the vertical arm of the cross. Experiences that touch and transform you. Moments in which you sense something greater than yourself. + What gives you meaning – the circle that encompasses both. Words, stories, and traditions that help to understand and share these experiences. Spirituality connects you with sources of strength that reach deeper than what you can see. For me, as a Christian, spirituality is a word for encountering the God who revealed himself in Jesus."

Roquefixade is a place both peaceful and mysterious, to be seen in all seasons, early morning or late evening. Neither the same nor entirely different, the timeless panorama is what makes the difference, compelling us to slow down, breathe, and gain altitude.

The most impregnable of the Cathar castles. The Cathars finally surrendered after an 11-month siege. The choice was conversion to the Roman Catholic Church or the stake. 200 Cathars chose the stake...

A beautiful wayside cross, beautifully decorated with flowers during our visit; perhaps because it was two days after the summer solstice, which is said to be a very special experience here...

This castle was the only one of the larger and more famous Cathar castles we were missing... and the visit was totally worth it 🥰

Beautiful view of the "safe mountain" - the somewhat arduous climb is definitely worth it, because from the top you have a fantastic view ☺️

friendly staff, nice beer.
