Dalt el castell de Pena / Up in Penne castle
Les ruines del castell occità de Pena (Penne en francès) son molt interessants. Assetjat diverses vegades durant la croada contra els catars i la guerra dels Cent Anys, acabà en ruines, però fa unes dècades que està sent restaurat i es pot visitar.

===========================================
This is the kind of castle that appears in dreams, in adventure, historic or magic&sword movies. But it's real, and stands there, defiying gravity. Even it's gate is massive and spectacular.
It's the castle of Pena (Penne in French), in the valley of the Aveyron river. The beautiful village lays at its feet. In fact, the castle was besieged several times in the middle ages, but later was abandoned till a few decades ago, when restoration work began.
