Comment

The Tower of Constance was built in 1242 in Aigues-Mortes by Saint Louis, on the former site of the Matafère Tower, built by Charlemagne around 790, to house the king's garrison. This construction is part of the transformation of Aigues-Mortes into a strategic point with a port opening on the Mediterranean. Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_de_Constance
