Aigues-Mortes is a medieval walled city located in the Gard department of southern France, in the Occitanie region. Founded in the 13th century by King Louis IX, the town was built as a royal port on the Mediterranean Sea. Today, it stands as one of the finest examples of medieval military architecture in Europe, with its remarkably preserved ramparts and towers spanning nearly 1,640 meters.
The town's name, meaning "dead waters" in Occitan, refers to the surrounding marshlands where salt has been harvested since ancient times. The cultural heritage of Aigues-Mortes is deeply connected to its historical role in the Crusades and salt production, which continues to this day with its distinctive pink salt ponds. The town's compact historic center features notable religious and civil architecture, including the Church of Notre-Dame-des-Sablons and various medieval buildings that reflect its rich history.
