The Forbidden City

Like a temple hanging on a hillside, Moncountour stands among Britain's irregular landscape. Its walls, from the 13th and 16th centuries, make the city a true "Forbidden City" for all who visit. It's full of nooks and alleys. The citadel is almost intact, which represents the great power that of the Medieval lords. So much so, that there was a minted coin in the 14th century. It had a great relationship with Spain, to which it exported linen and hemp, and afterwards, the entire overseas empire. Its medieval festivals and its French revolutionary recreation are worthy of admiration. There is a fake assault on the Bastille that's very close to reality, as well as colourful and exotic, with Marianne included.
