MATAGONAL TOWER
Go there and contact
The Tour de Mataguerre, a vestige of the medieval ramparts of the Périgord town, is open to visitors by prior arrangement.
Dating back to the 13th century, the Mataguerre tower is a vestige of the medieval rampart that protected the "Puy Saint-Front", the original urban core of Périgueux. Completely rebuilt in the 15th century, it was later used as a gunpowder warehouse. Built into the rock, it is crowned with machicolations and archways. Its walls contain a variety of medieval weapons! From the covered walkway at the top, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the rooftops and the orientation table. Book a tour at the Tourist Office!
