BRUNIQUEL CASTLES
Castle at the top of the cliff overlooking the confluence of the Vère and the Aveyron, with 2 exhibitions, one of which is on prehistory
Classified as a historical monument since 1840, the building (12th, 13th and 17th centuries) is built at the top of the cliff that dominates the confluence of the Vère and the Aveyron, on the site of an ancient Roman castrum. Property of the Counts of Toulouse in the 12th century, it was divided in the 15th century between two branches of the House of Comminges, which explains the current division into a Young Castle and an Old Castle. Two permanent exhibitions: one on the filming of the movie " Le Vieux Fusil" (The Old Gun), shot in these walls; the other on prehistory (Neanderthal site).
