Aigues-Mortes, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Vineyard and in the distance the Poudriere Tower, the Gate of the Queen, the Cordeliers Postern and the Villeneuve Tower in Aigues-Mortes, Languedoc-Roussillon, France. Aigues-Mortes is an ancient fortified city in the Gard department. The foundation of a settlement on this site is attributed to the Roman Marius Caius, around 102 BC and the town has preserved the entire perimeter wall, featuring three corner towers, two flanking towers and the entrances provided by five main gates and five posterns. A port used during the last two crusades, both led by King Louis IX, Aigues-Mortes was also a commercial port from its founding. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
