Origin and history

The houses surrounding the Place de la Liberté in Castelsagrat are a remarkable architectural complex, organized around a square square. These buildings, mostly on one floor, have an arcade ordinance and covered traffic on the ground floor, typical of medieval buildings. Although many facades have been redesigned over the centuries, the ensemble retains a marked historical and regional character, reflecting local architectural developments.

The construction of these houses dates back to the second half of the 13th century or to the first half of the 14th century, during which time Castelsagrat was part of a network of bastides and fortified villages of the South-West. Subsequent changes, not dated precisely, have altered certain facades while preserving the original structure, including cutlery and arcades. These elements, protected by a 1951 registration order, testify to the importance of this place as a public and commercial space in the medieval and post-medieval life of the city.

Registration for the Historic Monuments in 1951 specifically concerned facades, blankets and cutlery, highlighting their heritage value. Today, this set offers a representative example of medieval urban planning in Occitanie, where central squares played a key role in social and economic exchanges. The approximate location and partial state of the sources, however, limit a more detailed analysis of its architectural evolution.
