Description


Part of the ramparts and Fort Liberia Villefranche was founded by a charter granted by the count of Cerdagne Guillem Ramon April 9, 1091 The count wanted to make Villefranche the new capital of the Conflent. The city is then under Spanish rule.   The city is besieged and taken by the French in 1654 The construction of new fortifications is undertaken from the plans of Vauban in 1669, who visits the site ten years later. Fort Liberia is then built on the mountainside, overlooking the city to the north. Work continues throughout the eighteenth century. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200

Villefranche est fondée par une charte octroyée par le comte de Cerdagne Guillem Ramon le 9 avril 1091 Le comte voulait faire de Villefranche la nouvelle capitale du Conflent. La ville alors sous domination espagnole. La ville est assiégée et prise par les Français en 1654  La construction de nouvelles fortifications est entreprise à partir des plans de Vauban en 1669, qui visite le chantier dix ans plus tard. Le Fort Libéria est alors construit à flanc de montagne, dominant la ville au nord. Les travaux se poursuivent pendant tout le XVIIIe siècle .

Ce fort accroché à flan de montagne est étonnant, et les remparts fortifiés, agrémentés de cette jolie tourelle en brique sont superbes.......ta prise de vue est magnifique avec ce premier plan végétal, Jean-Claude !

Superbe cette photo et le texte. C'est fou comme les architectes de l'époque faisaient avec le relief et s'en sortaient fort bien vue les siècles, les guerres, le vandalisme et les intempéries, les restes de l'histoire de notre pays sont encore là !!

I'm always amazed at the locations of these beautiful structures. And how difficult it must have been to build them! Gorgeous image!

Probablement que si un ennemi avait tenté de prendre le fort à l'époque, il aurait effectivement eu du mal! Un superbe endroit en même temps pour le construire!
