The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Bastide fondée entre 1250 et 1259 par Alphonse de Poitiers. La ville, encore pro-anglaise en 1315, lutte contre ces derniers à partir des années 1350. Durant le 16e siècle, catholiques et huguenots se disputent la cité. En 1569, Monluc emporte le combat contre le capitaine protestant Arnaud de Clermont. Armand de Gontaud Biron emporte la place en juillet 1580, et en massacre les défenseurs huguenots. Ces derniers reprennent la ville. En 1652, le bourg aux mains des Frondeurs subit l'assaut des troupes royales. ££Les remparts datent de la seconde moitié du 13e siècle, de même que le château, remanié au 16e siècle. Ce dernier est un quadrilatère renforcé de trois tours munies d'embrasures de tir. Le couronnement de l'édifice a disparu. Non loin du château, la porte de l'enceinte urbaine s'ouvre, côté ouest de la bastide. Elle présente, côté ville, un grand arc cintré rétréci en hauteur, côté extérieur, par un second arc. Aucune trace de rainure de herse, ni de bretèches.

History
Bastide founded between 1250 and 1259 by Alphonse of Poitiers. The town, still pro-English in 1315, fought against them from around 1350 onwards. During the 16th century, Catholics and Huguenots disputed the city. In 1569, Monluc won the battle against the Protestant captain Arnaud de Clermont. Armand de Gontaud Biron took the place in July 1580, and massacred its Huguenot defenders. The latter recaptured the town. In 1652, the borough in the hands of the Frondeurs suffered assault from the royal troops. The ramparts date from the second half of the 13th century, as does the château, remodelled in the 16th century. The latter is a quadrilateral reinforced by three towers furnished with gun-ports. The crowning of the building has disappeared. Not far from the château, the gate of the urban enclosure opens, on the west side of the bastide. It presents, on the town side, a large rounded arch narrowed in height, on the exterior side, by a second arch. No trace of portcullis groove, nor of bretèches.
