Description
A closer look at the castle at Carcassonne. The castle is lit by yellow lights that are strategically placed to create a dramatic effect at night. Major restoration of the castle began in 1853 & went on for decades. It was led by a well known architect, Eugene Viollet-le-Duc. His work at Carcassonne has been a source of some controversy - here's a brief summary from Wikipedia:
"The restoration was strongly criticized during Viollet-le-Duc's lifetime. Fresh from work in the north of France, he made the error of using slates and restoring the roofs as pointed cones, where local practice was traditionally of tile roofing and low slopes, in a snow-free environment. Yet, overall, Viollet-le-Duc's achievement at Carcassonne is agreed to be a work of genius, though not of the strictest authenticity."
