Located in the heart of the famous medieval village of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, these freely accessible ruins correspond to an old fortified dwelling built between the 13th and 14th centuries.
Established on a rocky spur overlooking the Lot, the fortified complex was shared between three families of co-lords: the Lapopie, the Gourdon, and the Cardaillac. The castle of the latter is the best preserved, with its main building leaning against a Romanesque keep with buttresses.
