Carcassonne, France

Carcassonne, is a fortified town in the south of France. It has a rich history that dates back to the Roman Empire, and it is well-known for its medieval fortifications, well-preserved over the centuries. Just like all of the Shingeki no Kyojin real-life locations, Carcassonne has a real significant historical value. The top, fortified portion of the town is called the Cité de Carcassonne, and the lower, unfortified portion is called the Ville Basse. UNESCO designated Cité de Carcassonne as a World Heritage Site. It is said to be the best-preserved wall city in the whole of Europe.

As you walk through the narrow streets of the Cité, you will see ancient walls, watchtowers, and even a castle, all of which were meticulously restored. The fortresses of Carcassonne are comparable to the walls in the anime that defend humanity from the Titans.
