Forteresse de Miremont

Located on a rocky spur between Les Eyzies and Rouffignac, Forteresse de Miremont overlooks two valleys. The Romanesque 12th-century dungeon which was reworked during the Renaissance makes Miremont one of the great military castles of medieval times. After being forsaken for two centuries and then pampered for several years, this registered historical building is now open to the public as a way to better understand the history of fortified castles in the Périgord. Its panoramic view of its natural surroundings is worth the trip on its own!tour of archaeological digs
