Carcassonne: History and Curiosities



Carcassonne is a spectacular medieval fortress city in southern France, boasting Europe's largest preserved walled citadel with double ramparts, 52 towers, and nearly 3km of walls spanning Roman to medieval times. Founded by Romans around 100 BC, it became a Cathar stronghold during the 13th-century Albigensian Crusade. After centuries of decay, architect Viollet-le-Duc restored it (1853-1879), adding the iconic conical roofs that give it a fairy-tale appearance.

How Far Does the Eiffel Tower's Light Shine?



The Eiffel Tower illuminates Paris every night with approximately 20,000 LED bulbs creating its iconic golden glow.
