Le matériau utilisé pour la construction des enceintes et des tours est la pierre dont est constitué le plateau sur lequel est édifiée la Cité. Il s'agit de grès ou molasse de Carcassonne qui a été extraite du plateau même ou des collines environnantes. Deux enceintes, entourant la Cité, sont séparées par un espace plat : les lices. Ce système comportait, à l'époque de sa mise en œuvre (avant la généralisation de l'artillerie), de nombreux avantages défensifs. Il permettait d'attaquer les assaillants selon deux lignes de tir ; l'enceinte extérieure, si elle était franchie, ralentissait les assaillants et les divisait ; les assaillants une fois parvenus dans les lices étaient particulièrement vulnérables dans cet espace dépourvu d'abri. De plus, la lice permettait aux cavaliers de combattre facilement. On distingue les lices basses, situées au nord et allant de la porte Narbonnaise à la porte de l'Aude où se trouvent les enceintes les plus anciennes datant des Wisigoths et les lices hautes, situées au sud, où se trouvent les murailles les plus récentes construites sous Philippe III le Hard
La première enceinte, construite sur un éperon rocheux, date de l'époque gallo-romaine ; elle permettait de dominer la vallée et le cours de l'Aude. Les soubassements de cette enceinte originelle sont encore visibles depuis la lice. Elle est construite à l'aide de grosses pierres et d'un mortier très dur. Le mur de cette enceinte était épais de deux à trois mètres. Cette enceinte avait un périmètre de 1 070 m et protégeait une ville de sept hectares. Elle est constituée de moellons réguliers et de rangées de briques. Ces briques assuraient la stabilité de la construction grâce à leur flexibilité et rattrapaient les éventuels affaissements.
Il existe encore dix-sept tours d'origine gallo-romaine plus ou moins remaniées sur les trente tours que comportait initialement cette enceinte. Une seule tour était de plan rectangulaire, la tour Pinte. Les autres tours reconnaissables dans les remparts ouest de la Cité grâce à leur forme en fer à cheval à l'extérieur et plate à l'intérieur. La partie inférieure des tours, dont le diamètre est compris entre 4,50 et 7 mètres, est constituée de maçonnerie pleine qui donnait une assise particulièrement solide. Les niveaux supérieurs comportent de larges ouvertures cintrées qui donnaient une grande efficacité aux armes de jet des défenseurs. Un système de fenêtre basculante assurait la défense et la protection de ces larges ouvertures. Les tours étaient recouvertes de tuiles plates à double rebord. La hauteur des tours était comprise entre 11,65 m et 13,70 m
Durant le XIIIe siècle, les rois de France ordonnèrent la construction d'une seconde enceinte extérieure autour de la Cité. Les tours sont rondes, souvent basses et dépourvues de toiture pour n'offrir aucun abri à des assaillants qui les auraient conquises contre les tirs venus de l'enceinte intérieure. L'enceinte est entourée d'un fossé sec sauf aux endroits ou le dénivelé ne rend pas cette défense nécessaire. L'espace entre les deux enceintes est aménagé en lices qui sont utilisées en temps de paix pour les manifestations en tous genres. Les murailles atteignent une hauteur de 10 à 12 mètres.
L'enceinte intérieure est modernisée sous Philippe III Le Hardi et Philippe IV Le Bel. L'entrée Narbonnaise, la Porte de Saint-Nazaire et la tour du Trésau sont construites. Ces édifices sont caractérisés par la hauteur impressionnante de leurs murs et l'emploi de pierres à bossage. La construction de l'enceinte est plus complexe et repose sur des fondations plus profondes que l'enceinte gallo-romaine, car elle atteint la roche du plateau. La réalisation de l'enceinte extérieure et des lices a nécessité de décaisser le terrain naturellement pentu. Une partie des soubassements extérieurs de l'enceinte gallo-romaine ont été mis à nu par ce terrassement et a dû faire l'objet d'une consolidation.
Le chemin de ronde permettait de faire tout le tour de la Cité en traversant les tours. Au Moyen Âge, la courtine est élargie grâce à un système de charpente en bois suspendu créant un abri au-dessus du vide. Ce système placé à cheval sur le rempart du nom de hourd permettait aux arbalétriers de tirer avec précision au milieu des lices. Des échauguettes sont construites sur la saillie de certaines murailles comme l'échauguette de la Vade.
Les tours médiévales diffèrent des tours romaines tout en gardant leur forme extérieure caractéristique avec une façade extérieure bombée et une façade intérieure plate. Les échelles de bois sont remplacées par des escaliers intérieurs en pierre. La base des tours est fruitée, c'est-à-dire renflée afin que les projectiles ricochent sur la tour et se retournent contre les assaillants situés au pied de la muraille.
The Cité de Carcassonne is a medieval citadel located in the French city of Carcassonne, in the department of Aude, Languedoc-Roussillon region. It is located on a hill on the right bank of the River Aude, in the south-east part of the city proper. It was the historic city of Carcassonne and features on the emblem of local rugby league team AS Carcassonne.
Fortified city of Carcassonne
Founded during the Gallo-Roman period, the citadel derives its reputation from its 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) long double surrounding walls interspersed by 52 towers. The town has about 2,500 years of history and has seen the Romans, Visigoths, Saracens and Crusaders. At the beginning of its history it was a Gaulish settlement then in the 3rd century A.D., the Romans decided to transform it into a fortified town. The town was finally annexed to the kingdom of France in 1247 A.D. It provided a strong French frontier between France and the Crown of Aragon.
In 1659, after the Treaty of the Pyrenees, the province of Roussillon became a part of France, and the town lost its military significance. Fortifications were abandoned and the town became one of the economic centres of France, concentrating on the woolen textile industry.
In 1849 the French government decided that the city fortifications should be demolished. This decision was strongly opposed by the local people. Jean-Pierre Cros-Mayrevieille and Prosper Mérimée, an eminent archaeologist and historian, led a campaign to preserve the fortress as an historical monument. The government later reversed its decision and in 1853 restoration work began. Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, the architect, was charged with renovating the fortress. Viollet-le-Duc's work was criticised during his lifetime as inappropriate to the climate and traditions of the region. After his death in 1879, the restoration work was continued by his pupil, Paul Boeswillwald, and later by the architect Nodet.
The citadel was restored at the end of the 19th century and in 1997 it was added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites

After a power off and on it recovered...
What does this mean on a failed reboot.... The Windows Boot configuration Data (BCD) store file contains some invalid information. WINDOWS 7
That message indicates that your computer's Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file has become corrupted or contains errors. The BCD is a critical file that tells your computer how and where to boot the Windows operating system. When it's invalid, the system can't find the necessary files to start Windows, leading to a failed reboot.
What is the BCD?
The BCD is a file that holds important boot-related information. Think of it as a map for your computer's startup process. . It tells the computer things like:
Which hard drive and partition to boot from.
The location of the Windows operating system files.
The boot menu options (if you have more than one operating system installed).
When the BCD file is "invalid," it means the map is unreadable or has wrong directions, so your computer gets lost during the boot process.
Why does the BCD get corrupted?
Several things can cause the BCD to become invalid:
Sudden power loss during a system update or file write operation.
Improper shutdown of the computer.
Hard drive failures or bad sectors.
Malware or virus attacks that target system files.
Installing a new operating system in a way that overwrites or corrupts the existing boot data.
How to Fix the Problem
The most common way to fix an invalid BCD is by using the Windows 7 installation or repair disc. Here's the general process:
Boot from the installation media. You may need to change the boot order in your computer's BIOS.
Choose "Repair your computer" from the installation screen.
Navigate to the System Recovery Options and select "Command Prompt."
In the Command Prompt, you can use specific commands to rebuild the BCD. The most common commands are:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /rebuildbcd
These commands will scan your system for a Windows installation and rebuild the BCD file with the correct information, effectively creating a new, valid "map" for your computer to follow.
I just did a power reset....
When you perform a power reset, also known as a hard reset or power cycle, you're essentially clearing all temporary data from your computer's memory (RAM) and some peripheral devices. This is different from a simple restart or shutdown because it physically drains all power from the system, forcing it to reload everything from scratch.
How a Power Reset Works
A power reset involves three main steps:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug all power sources. This includes the AC power cord for desktops and the battery and AC adapter for laptops.
Hold down the power button for 15-30 seconds. This drains any remaining electrical charge from the capacitors on the motherboard and other components. .
Why do a Power Reset?
A power reset can fix various issues by clearing temporary glitches or corrupted data that a regular restart can't fix. It's often used when:
Your computer is frozen or unresponsive and a normal shutdown isn't possible.
Peripherals like USB devices, monitors, or keyboards are not working correctly.
The computer turns on but doesn't show anything on the screen (a "no POST" situation).
You are experiencing boot-related issues, as it can sometimes resolve minor conflicts that prevent the system from starting properly.
When NOT to do a Power Reset
While a power reset is a powerful troubleshooting tool, it's not a solution for every problem. It's not the same as a factory reset, which wipes your hard drive. A power reset won't erase your files, but it also won't fix software-level issues like corrupted drivers or a failing operating system. For those problems, you'd need to use software-based solutions like system restores or reinstallation.
