History and Architecture
Olonzac has prehistoric origins, with the Bassanel oppidum built in the 6th century BC. During Roman times, it became a fortified settlement with a castrum. The town was established as a seigneury in 1095. Situated in the Cathar region, Olonzac experienced the king’s repression led by Simon de Montfort in 1209. The construction of the Canal du Midi south of the town in the 17th century transformed Olonzac’s economic life.
