Between the street and the passage, this fortified copy separating the Palais Vieux from the Palais Neuf leads to Place de l'Hôtel de Ville and the cathedral cloister.

The busy centre of the town, dominated by the Palais des Archevêques and its keep. Between Tour Saint-Martial and the Donjon Gilles-Aycelin stands the Hôtel de Ville, built by Viollet-le-Duc in a neo-Gothic style. On the square, you can also see a section of the Via Domitia that has been opened up.

Montady Lake was drained in 1247. The best viewpoint from which to admire it is the Ensérune hill fort. From the viewing tables, the plots of land radiating from the centre become obvious: this is due to the ditches draining the water off into a collector. From there, an aqueduct passing under a hill takes the water to the bottom of the old Capestang Lake, which was drained in the 19C. The panorama can be absolutely splendid, depending on the crops and time of year.

This private house contains 19th C paintings and the studio of Béziers sculptor J.-A. Injalbert (1845-1933).
