LA MOTTE FÉODALE - CHAPELLE CASTRALE

Overlooking Salies, the Comtal Castle with its imposing dungeon lets us imagine, by its location and the remains of its ramparts, the strategic importance of the impregnable building built in the 13th century by the Counts of Comminges. The Keep, a square tower with walls 1.43 m thick, dates from the 12th century The Castral Chapel, now ruined, is a testimony of the late Romanesque and Gothic periods. It still has some architectural elements (ogival doors and windows...) as well as decorated capitals (14th century) and a typical gabled bell tower From the platform, you can enjoy a view of the Pyrenees, the Salat valley upstream and downstream of the town, the Isles lake, as well as a panorama of the town -- A guide to the town is available at the Tourist Office Group visits can be organised on request.
