Overview

🕯️ Guided tour of the prison tower – Graffiti and walled memory

Four centuries after its construction in the 12th century, the prison tower sees its walls transformed into a place of detention, used until the First World War.

👉 Prisoners of the Wars of Religion, then common law detainees, lived there in appalling conditions of incarceration. Deprived of liberty, they left their only symbolic escape: more than 300 graffiti engraved on the walls. 🔦 Torch in hand, follow the guide that, in grazing light, helps you decipher these poignant, anonymous, sometimes moving messages from the past. A striking visit, at the crossroads of prison history, built heritage and memory engraved in stone. https://www.ot-paysdelunel.fr/21222-tour-des-prisons-la-vie-de-cachot.htm Informations Free.
