Below the castle, Place de la Monnaie enables an excellent overview. From here, you can clearly see the different eras the castle has gone through. There’s the old watchtower from its early days, now a mint and more recently a lift, as well as the imposing brick donjon from its defensive period. Lastly, you can see the Renaissance-style palace, residence of the Kings of Navarre.
