Provins Medieval Town - France
Provins is well known for its medieval fortifications, such as the Tour César (the Caesar Tower) and well-preserved city walls.
The Saint Quiriace Collegiate Church is located here. The Empress Galla Placidia is said to have presented Ancona with the relics of Judas Cyriacus. However, the saint's head was situated at Provins, brought from Jerusalem by Henry I of Champagne, who built a church in this town to display it. It is still at the Saint Quiriace Collegiate Church, although construction work during the 12th century was never completed due to financial difficulties during the reign of Philippe le Bel. A dome was added in the 17th century, and the old families of Provins who lived in the upper town were called Children of the Dome.
Two sets of caves underlie parts of the town. The first type were likely used to store food in the Middle Ages. The second, deeper, type contains Bronze and Iron Age graffiti. (from wikipedia)

Provins (France) Travel - Caesar's Tower
Take a tour of Caesar's Tower in Provins, France -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
At the top of a hill of Provins, France sits the medieval site of Caesar's Tower.
The tower was constructed during the rule of Henry the Liberal in the 12th century and has served many purposes since that time.
It has been used as a fortress, jail, watchtower and attraction due to its fantastic location overlooking the Brie Plateau.
The tall stone and brick wall at the base of the tower was made in 1432 for defensive purposes.
The newest additions to the tower are a roof and church bells from a Collegiate Church, both added in the 17th century.
Today, visitors can walk through the dungeons and governor's room, and even look out over the city from the towers peak.
