Monument Sights in Dordogne

The great wall, or Grandes Murailles, is now all that remains of a once Dominican monastery that was built in the 12th-century.

The Lanternes des Morts (Lanterns of the dead) are small towers mainly found in the central and western parts of France. Thought to indicate the position of a cemetary.

One of the most beautiful and well-preserved examples of a town gate in the Perigord, the Porte des Tours in Domme is flanked by two large round towers from the 13th-century.
