THE CÉSAR TOWER
Go there and contact
Tower dating back to the Middle Ages, a massive 4-storey edifice built of local stone, gneiss, schist and slate in Allassac.
The Tour César comes from "Caesar": Suzerain, because Allassac was a fortified city, guarded by the bishops of Limoges, those famous suzerains. A rare example of the military art of the Limousin, the round tower with its square base is the only remaining element of Allassac's first fort. This massive, 4-storey, 30 m-high, 10 m-diameter edifice is built of local stone, gneiss, schist and slate. Climb the steps of history and admire the magnificent panorama over the Vézère valley, the Brive Basin, vineyards and slate quarries.
