PR N°25 – Saint-Romain-de-Benet

This walk starting from the church of Saint-Romain-de-Benet takes you to the tower of Pirelonge in the middle of the vines which was originally surrounded by a wall.
This Gallo-Roman period tower is 24 meters high on a square base of 6 meters on each side. But the purpose of this tower remains vague. It was to serve either as a landmark with a beacon, or as a funerary monument to which an enclosure conferred a sacred character.
