Carcassonne East and West is a book written by Ben Field that provides a complete guide to the famous fortified city of Carcassonne in France. The book is divided into two parts - the East and the West - and covers the history, architecture, and culture of each part of the city. The East section of the book focuses on the fortified medieval city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It covers the history of the city from its origins in Roman times to its role in the Cathar Crusade and beyond. The section also includes detailed descriptions of the walls, towers, and gates of the city, as well as the many historic buildings and landmarks that can be found within its walls.The West section of the book covers the newer part of the city, which developed outside the walls of the medieval city. This section includes information on the history of the city's growth, as well as its modern-day attractions, such as museums, restaurants, and shops. Throughout the book, Field provides detailed descriptions and historical context for each site and attraction, as well as practical information for visitors, such as opening hours and admission fees. The book also includes maps and photographs to help readers navigate the city and get a sense of its unique beauty and charm. Overall, Carcassonne East and West is a comprehensive guide to one of France's most iconic and historic cities, and is essential reading for anyone planning a visit to the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
