It became the property of the Town of Carcassonne by application of Article One, Section One of the law of 13th April 1908. N.B. The Crucifix was erected c. 1820 on one of the four bastions flanking the town at the end of the 16th century (1560). At that time (i.e. during the Wars of Religion that were devastating the south of France), bastions replaced the corner towers that had been built at the same time as the walls encircling the lower town (1355-1359). www.carcassonne.org/carcassonne_EN.nsf/vueTitre/DocPatr...
