‘Tour Wisigothique’

A Tower near the town of Fa is reputed to be Visigothic. The window half way up has that Visigothic look where the arc of the window top is truncated with protuberances. The tall thin structure is a ‘window’ into a time when the Visigoths, with their Capital at Tolouse ruled a land stretching from the Loire in France to the Rock of Gibraltar in Spain.

Not far away is another potential Visigothic structure; Tour de Boussecos

Also there is a church, not far from Carcassonne with that typical Visigothic Arch, potentially copied by the Muslims who occupied Spain
