Monument Sights in Dordogne

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.

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