The Romanesque church, fortified by Pope John XXII, the keep (feudal), the Ribas Tower and the remain of the ramparts of Saint Laurent des Arbres testify to a rich history in centuries gone by. The Ribas Tower, where you will find the Tourist Office, houses a model of the town, recreated from archives, representing the site as it would have been in the Middle Ages up to the mid-17th century.
