Entrance to the citadel

Abstract

After a hundred metres or so of ascent from Rue du Grand-Pont, we arrive at the entrance to the castle-church of Valère, the sacred centre and former residence of the canons. Perched on a rocky ridge, it has been relatively unaffected by the devastation that Sion has suffered over the centuries. Its construction apparently dates back to the end of the 13th century, according to the few surviving historical sources.
