Roquefixade castle is perched on top of a high cliff opposite the stronghold of Montségur. A place of refuge and resistance for the Cathars in the 13th century, it was destroyed in the 17th century on the orders of King Louis XIII. Accessible throughout the year via a footpath leading from the village, the citadel ruins offer a panoramic view over the Pays d'Olmes, the Pyrenees, Le Lauragais and Les Corbières.
