The "Bastide" is a vast quadrilateral with straight streets and roads crossing each other at right angles. There are two main thoroughfares, one running in an east-west direction and the other running north-south. At the junction of these two roads, royal surveyors marked out a large square. After 1355, the square was reduced to the size we see today. By doing so, Rue Pinel and Rue de l'Aigle d'Or were created. After the fire in 1622 which destroyed more than 150 houses and the arcades filled with shops round the square, a new corn market (now the covered market) was built on the site of the Officiality. This cleared the square. www.carcassonne.org/carcassonne_EN.nsf/vueTitre/DocPatr...
