Tour Anglica
Description
Built in the North side of the little mountain, the city is overlooked by the Anglica Tower. It was built in 1365 by Cardinal Grimoard, Brother of Pope Urbain V, the
tower measures 28 meters high and 10 meters wide. It remains the great witness of the medieval period, and was restored in the 18th century. The Angelica Tower,
with a turret above it, was sung by Mistral (Famous Provencal Poet) in Les Iscles d’Or. On its left side, the Sequier Door (14th century) was the village border line.
The tower has been registered “Historical Monument“ since 1925 but is closed to the public.
