From the top of its spur overlooking the Ariège valley at a height of 965m, Lordat is considered, with its two enclosures, as one of the largest medieval fortresses in the former county of Foix.
Of earl then royal rank, Cathar den, built in several phases, it is mentioned in writings from 1030 and was occupied from the 11th to the 17th century.
It offers a remarkable panorama of the bottom of the Ariège valley.
