Čeština: Opevněné město Carcassonne (Francie) během modré hodinywcs založené během „gallo-římského období” (Galské císařství). Citadela je proslulá svými 3 km dlouhými dvojitými hradbami s 52 věžemi.

Español: Ciudadela, Carcasona, Francia. Euskara: Zitadela, Carcasona, Frantzia. Italiano: La città fortificata di Carcassonne nell'ora blu, in Francia. Fondata nel periodo gallo-romano, deve la sua fama al suo doppio sistema murario, che raggiunge quasi i 3 km di lunghezza, comprende cinquantadue torri e domina la valle dell'Aude. Salvata dalla distruzione dall'azione e dalla tenacia dell'archeologo Jean-Pierre Cros-Mayrevieille, venne poi restaurata nel XIX secolo, in modo a volte controverso, sotto la direzione di Viollet-le-Duc e poi di Boeswillwald. Magyar: A szürkületben megvilágított erődített város, Carcassonne (Franciaország). A gall-római korban alapított erődítmény hírnevét a 3 kilométer hosszú, 52 toronnyal tarkított kettős falának köszönheti. Az Aude folyó jobb partján, egy dombon található középkori erődítményt a 19. század végén Eugène Viollet-le-Duc építész újította fel. 1997-ben felvették az UNESCO világörökségi listájára, mert kivételes tanúja a középkori erődvárosoknak Português: Cidadela de Carcassona, França, na hora azul. Fundada no período galo-romano, deve sua fama ao seu duplo sistema de muralhas, que chega a quase 3 km de comprimento, compreende cinquenta e duas torres e domina o vale do Aude.
