Château des évêques
Guillaume de La Tour, bishop of Rodez and lord of Salles-Curan, built this castle in 1441-1447 - he and his successors reside there frequently, to the extent that they often administer the diocese from there...
...During this time, the cathedral of Rodez is still in the middle of its construction. At the end of the Hundred Years' War, the town appeared to be surrounded by a continuous wall made of fortified houses - ditches surrounded it. Guillaume de la Tour built his castle against the town walls. Three towers reinforce it - the machicolations consolidate its walls. A park and a winter garden will decorate the castle. Remain of the building of the 15th century: the spiral staircase, the vaulted rooms and their fireplace, the room known as the guards. The arms of the Bishop of La Tour d'Oliergues, the eye of the guard, the portcullis and the door, form a whole classified among the Historic Monuments. VISIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE ONLY
