Another French Castle 2 Photo

Photographer’s Note

The counts of Foix ruled the independent County of Foix, in southern France, during the Middle Ages. Later they extended their power to almost the entire Pyrenees mountain range.

Foix is a small town near the French-Spanish and Adorra border. The main historical feature is the Château of the Counts of Foix, which overlooks the old part of the town. It crowns an isolated rock with its three towers of the 12th, 14th and 15th centuries, two of which are seen on this shot.

Hallo Anton!
Two really impressive buildings which show how well-fortified this castle has been! I never have seen these obviously downward positioned embrasures at the top of the right tower. I like the point of view, which makes the buildings even more mighty! Thank you for showing this!
Greetings from cool but sunny Germany!
Frank

Hi there Anton!
Seems I'm not the only one who likes monuments! This perspective is very good.Sharp, with nice colours, it shows us two very different nice towers. Well done!
