The charming, medieval town is dominated by the royal fortress and overlooks the gorges of the Aveyron. The imposing military complex, built in the 13th century, is the village's landmark and invites you on a journey into history.

Built between 1906 and 1908 to serve the silver-lead mines of Vézis, this bridge — also called the Roucade viaduct — elegantly spans the Aveyron river with dressed stones from the Sidobre, marking the end of the Aveyron gorges and the beginning of the Lézert gorges.

Najac is built very similarly to Cordes sur Ciel, but with significantly fewer tourists.
