FORT LIBERIA OF VILLEFRANCHE-DE-CONFLENT

Last entry: one hour before closing

Perched sentinel dominating Villefranche-de-Conflent, Fort Liberia awaits your discovery. Remarkable monument built by Vauban in 1681, fortified under Napoleon III (1850-1856). In an incomparable setting, you will walk the walkways, go in search of a few soldiers ambushed in the counterscarp galleries or to meet these ugly poisoners hidden in some underground prisons. Other curiosities: historical reconstructions (12 rooms), chapel, bread oven, gunboats. 

The Fort is linked to the medieval city of Villefranche-de-Conflent by a staircase of 765 steps.

Its access is possible on foot by a path (30 min walk), by the underground for the bravest or by 4 x 4 vehicle.
