Visite guidée des mystèrieux graffiti
Description
The imposing gate of the towers beholds strange graffiti. In 1970, Canon Tonnelier attributed them to the Order of the Temple. According to him, 70 Templars were locked up there and engraved the testimony of the end of their history. Since then, many visitors have been able to appreciate them and wonder about the presence of the Templars in Domme. In 2018, during a restoration campaign, a new study of the engravings was commissioned, which states that the theses of Canon Tonnelier cannot be retained that it is probably “…a waiting room, or even a room for idleness…” that “…the aesthetic dimension must not be neglected…” and that “… some graffiti can also be purely free…”. Today everyone is unanimous, these graffiti remain an exceptional ensemble.
From now on, the mystery of the graffiti of the Porte des Tours is revived! … But what will you think?
