THE GOVERNOR’S HOUSE
is in the heart of the village of Najac, in the district called the Bourget, which lies below the fortified royal castle. During the Middle Ages, Najac was one of the most important cities of the province of Rouergue. The role of the Governor’s House, which was built in the 13th century, was to protect the castle. It stood guard over the road into Najac that went from Le Bourget and the plateau of Barry.
CIAP stands for ‘Centre of Interpretation of Architecture and Heritage’ and is a national certification scheme founded by France’s Ministry of Culture. The Governor’s House in Najac is a CIAP dedicated to the Bastide Towns of Rouergue
