Montségur (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃seɡyʁ]; Languedocien: Montsegur) is a commune in the Ariège department in southwestern France. It is famous for its fortification, the Château de Montségur, that was built on the "pog" (mountain) on the ruins of one of the last strongholds of the Cathars. The present fortress on the site, though described as one of the "Cathar castles," is from a later period.
