The Last of the Templars: The Prison of Domme, France

🌟In this episode, we explore the legends of the Knights Templar in the citadel of Domme, in Dordogne, southwestern France. Before their disappearance, the Templar Knights who were arrested, tortured and imprisoned here left inscriptions on the walls of their cells. These still exist today and can be visited year-round. There is allegedly a code-system used by the Knights Templar, although these details are unknown. Few historical sources exist to study them.
