La Tour de Guet

The Watchtower in Volonne, the highest, is the remains of an ancient citadel from the 12th or 13th century.
It is described at the end of the 14th century as the fortress of Volonne composed of this tower and a building built on the small platform where the seigneurial dungeon was. From the esplanade one can admire the panorama of the roofs showing the evolution of the village, the meanders of the Durance from Sisteron to the edge of the Valensole plateau and the Pénitents des Mées.
