| TOWN PRESENTATION |
Small village Larzac 99 inhabitants located in the heart of Regional Natural Park of Grands Causses, 800 meters above sea level in the South Aveyron.
The tower is part of Viala-du-Pas-de-Jaux a set of 5 sites (Santa Eulalia, La Couvertoirade The Cavalry, St. John of Alcas) enrolled in a program of recovery Larzac Templar Hospital.
Originally, Le Viala was a farmhouse. His fate changed in the mid 12th century when it was given to the Templars. The Knights of St. Eulalia de Cernon built there a patch to protect the area. When the Hospitallers took possession of the Temple after 1312, they decided to create a place in this village and construct buildings of a farm. They raise them to the house in 1315 and the Knights built a church dedicated to St. John the Baptist, the patron saint of the Hospitallers. Then around 1430, the Hospital built there with a square tower that works to restore, since 1982, a combination of backup.
