The ancient stone arched bridge across the Aude, beside a main town square, is picturesque, and the swift-flowing river has a nice mountain feel to it. The hulking stone tower (truncated) of the 13th-century château de Quillan, built on the ruins of the Visigoth fortress of Kilianus, overlooks the town. The large municipal swimming pool is located handily in the center of town, just beside the railway station.


Transportation

The Quillan railway station serves the trains on the Quillan - Carcassonne line, with several of the colorful red trains a day between the two places.
