While the Roman remains were underwhelming, the castle exceeded expectations. Firstly there is an awful lot of it. It extends over a whole ridge. This was originally an Iberian town called Arse (no sniggering -it is pronounced Arssay ) before it was colonised by the Romans, then the Moors and was later besieged by the French. So it has gone through a lot of phases.
There is a little museum of inscriptions found in the area, mostly grave markers
