Duras Castle, located in Lot-et-Garonne, is a restored medieval fortress boasting remarkable architecture and magnificent views. It is a major historical monument in the region.

There is a great market square in the center of the city with its arcade-like walkway. Very impressive.

Nice climb up to Duras, best enjoyed at a comfortable pace being sure to keep something in reserve to blast out over the top!

A literary monument – albeit one that seems rather bizarre in the context of the story – has been erected by the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES to the windmills with which our ancestors used the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones: In one episode, his tragic novel hero Don Quixote, the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance", wants to defeat them in a duel, believing that he is battling against giants with four arms.

Church from the 12th century. Several alterations visible. Bell tower is "new" (ca. 1890). A description (in French) is next to the entrance portal.

A literary - albeit rather bizarre in the context of the story - monument has been set by the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES to the windmills, with which our ancestors harnessed the energy of the wind centuries ago to move the large and heavy millstones : His tragic novel hero Don Quixote, the “knight of the sad figure”, wants to defeat them in a duel in one episode, believing that he is competing against giants with four arms.

Windmill nestled among the vineyards.

Since 1970 the Château de Duras has been classified as a historic monument. It is an imposing castle, which can be seen from afar.
