A "martyr village" . The wars do not saved Castillon, the natural disaster either.

Devastated by the "Austo - Sardes" wars, rebuilt just under the hill of the medieval castle, it was another time razed with the earthquake of February 1887; it has rised again but was another time destroyed with the air raid of winter 1944 - 1945.

"Castillon le neuf " is the creation of the rebuilders after the world war (beginning of the years 50), it receives since 1988 in the Provencal fence, the "Arcades du Serre" of the painters, ceramists, leather workers, potters, stylists, creators of stained glass window whic open henceforth their workplace to the public.

Do Not Miss:
The visit of the Art artists neighbourhood, The rise up to Sospel using the road of the Castillon pass, offers a beautiful viewpoint at South on the Carei valley, the sea and also the Bevera, Peira Cave, and at North the "Authion". The ruins of the old village show us the history of the free town before its destruction.
