06 - The King's Tower

This tower, which served as a prison up until 1926, was probably built at about the same time as the Bishop's and Bermonde (Duchy) Towers in the 11^th and 12^th centuries. The bond stonework is characterized by irregular protuberances, and is not unlike that of the Aigues-Mortes tower.
Within the 9m square tower, whose walls are 2.80m thick, there is the Saint-Gilles circular staircase. At present the only accessible room (which houses a permanent photo exhibition of the Flower Garden) is on the ground floor.
