Origin and history

Château du Castellas is a building located in the commune of Lioux, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. Although its existence is attested, the available sources do not specify its construction period or detailed history. This type of monument, often linked to defence or seigneurial habitat, is generally indicative of the social and military organization of rural territories.

In this region, castles and fortifications played a key role in structuring local communities, serving as checkpoints or refuges. Their presence often reflects the political and economic dynamics of their time, although the specificities of Castellas are not documented in current sources.
