INNER WALL THE TRESAU TOWER  his tower, whose name is a reminder of the tax authorities that sat within its walls in the XIVth Century, dominates the north-east facade of the fortress close to the Narbonne Gate. Built during the reign of Philippe le Hardi (1270-1285), it is semi-circular and juts out over the lists, whereas its Flemish style gabled wall crowned with crenellated watch towers overlooks the walled town. Three of its floors have ribbed vaults, monumental fireplaces and archery slits c88-0881. The top two floors are essentially designed for active defence with groups of openings and a rampart walk protected by a parapet.
