Twenty five tours once reinforced the medieval walls and gateways of the city, of which only two have survived. One of these is this solitary 23-meter (75-foot) high tower standing among cedars in a small park. A Protestant refuge in the 16th Century, the tower was used as a prison during the French revolution and now houses the city archives. A plaque commemorates the birth at Montpellier in 1208 of James the Conqueror, King of Aragon.
