Cité médiévale de Saint-Macaire to Saint-Macaire
Saint-Macaire is a medieval town overlooking the Garonne River, whose commercial expansion dates back to the establishment of the “Wine Privilege” in the 13th century. The town is surrounded by ramparts, some of whose gates remain, and the streets in the centre are paved. What remains of the monastery is the south wing of the cloister overlooking the ramparts. At the junction of the original urban core and the slope of the Thuron leading down to the first river port, the arcaded Mercadiou square is adorned with houses dating from the 13th and 14th centuries and the 15th and 16th centuries.
The church with its remarkable wall paintings, the Place du Marché lined with arcaded galleries, the merchants’ residences and numerous listed buildings make Saint-Macaire a remarkable urban ensemble, a medieval town not to be missed in the Sud-Gironde.
