This mod contains two landmarks:

-Château de Tautavel: mentionned as soon as the 11th century, the Château de Tautavel was built on the heights of the commune of the same name in the department of Pyrenées-Orientales, in the south of France. It becomes a property of the County of Empúries during the 13th century.
When the Treaty of Corbeil is signed in 1258, the castle is added in the defensive line of the Crown of Aragon, as opposed to the nearby Château de Queribus which is added to the French side.The castle is eventually seized by the French during the Thirty Years' War and destroyed by explosives a few years later, in 1658.
The remains of the castle were listed as monument historique in 1986.

-Tour del Far (or Torre del Far): built during the 14th, the Tour del Far is a medieval watchtower standing on a hill located a few kilometers south east of the Château de Tautavel. It was also used as a signal tower and its location allowed to oversee the Roussillon plain, the Verdouble Valley as well as the nearby castles of Queribus and Aguilar.

Both landmarks were recreated manually from various photos and videos from the internet. The castle comes with its own POI.
