We see the eastern side of the Montségur castle
A long time ago there was a village around the castle
The village was literary built upon steep rocks
So these balconies of ancient stonework were built on with logs
The roofs were made of wood as well
People were living there, around 500 persons
Cathar perfecti as well as other people who were close to them
The people of the village defended themselves until the end
And shared the last piece of bread with each other
When the siege was over and the people were killed,
everything made of wood was burned down
What we’re regarding now is exactly the base of those buildings – XIII century
