Puissalicon

Sur puech, with a large rock at the top on which the castle was built in the 12th century by the La Broue family.

In the 11th century, the bell tower known as the "Romanesque tower" was built along with the church: St Etienne de Pézan. Only the tower remains, a magnificent example of Lombard art. The parish church of Notre Dame de Grâce was built in the 14th century. The village is surrounded by "circulades", 3 thick ramparts with three gates, one of which is particularly well preserved: La Porte des Pradelles, and the other recently restored: La Porte Perot. Puissalicon, like Rome! has 7 hills, and is crossed on the west by the Libron, a coastal river with fearsome floods... More than 13 sites have shown vestiges of a Roman, then Visigothic past. Several Roman villas occupied the lower parts of the territory and have revealed the presence of numerous precious objects and statues.

Origin of the name: comes from Podiosaliconis- podio, the puy or puech .
