The Priory of Carluc is a place steeped in history which is a remarkable example of rock use of the stone of the South. It is an absolutely remarkable ensemble that you have to take the time to discover the relationships that have always united Man and the Earth.
Although it exudes a somewhat mysterious and romantic atmosphere, the place is the subject of very serious studies by archaeologists and university historians. Indeed, the buildings gathered here include - in addition to the priory - cave dwellings, a necropolis and the remains of an ancient spring. The necropolis consists of a covered gallery of rock tombs and outer rock tombs. The priory is also close to the Via Domitia and it was therefore a welcome stopover for pilgrims who - in the Middle Ages - leaving from the Iberian Peninsula, reached Italy via Provence; which is very probably attested by the presence of monastic cells of the troglodyte type.
