France
The fortress of Mornas, in the Vaucluse department, stands on a rocky spur on the left bank of the Rhône, overlooking the village of Mornas at its foot and the surrounding country. It was of major importance from antiquity until the French Revolution, after which it fell into ruin. It was rediscovered in the last third of the 19th century and has since 1978 been the subject of extensive restoration by Les Amis de Mornas, a heritage conservation association.
