Architectural jewel on a rocky mound

Architectural jewel on a rocky mound
Une forteresse royale imprenable. Construite au XIIIe siècle, la gigantesque forteresse de 17 tours de schiste et de calcaire qui s’étendent sur près d’un demi-kilomètre dégage une formidable impression de puissance. Aux XIVe et XVe siècles, les ducs d’Anjou, princes éclairés, redonnent à Angers le faste d’une vie de cour dont témoigne l’architecture raffinée du site.
