Guided tour of the Fort d'Aubin site
Perched on its rocky promontory, Fort d'Aubin has watched over the city since 193 A.D. J.-C. The legend attributes its construction to a Roman general Claudius Albinus. Occupied as early as the 10th century by the lords of Albin, today only the Romanesque church of Saint-Amans and the defence tower remain. Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered the remains of a seigneurial home and several dwellings. In the nineteenth century were added a Way of the Cross, a Calvary and a statue of the virgin with the child. The old town with its medieval streets has preserved a 14th century grain hall and its 5 grain bars, a testimony of its commercial power, as well as half-timbered houses and a bread oven.
