Medieval castle, Tarascon, October 1943
Description:
Photograph. Medieval castle of Tarascon. Translated German caption on photo reverse: "Two castles, two prisons. Imposing walls and strong round towers define the appearance of the castle of Tarascon. Only a very few windows break the facades, which despite that, appear bright and cheery. And also the battlements and machicolations seem to serve more as decoration than as defense of this holiday seat built by King René in the middle of the 15th century. Southern France, Oct 43." Tarascon, France. October 1943
