At the bottom of the escarpment of the Cité, a wall defended the borough on the banks of the Aude. This wall dates back to the 13th century. It prevented the ennemy from keeping between the Aude and the Cité as it lay within a stone's throw from the towers. www.carcassonne.org/carcassonne_EN.nsf/vueTitre/docPatr...
