Property of the Viscounts of Carlat, the city was twice in the hands of the English (in 1373 and 1418) during the Hundred Years War before being attacked by the Calvinists from 1574 to 1590. The city then offered a rather wealthy: to the many fairs attracting merchants, traders and peasants from Carladez, but also from Rouergue and Auvergne, were added the activities linked to the presence of a certain number of religious institutions and a local petty bourgeoisie of lawyers and notaries. The history of Mur-de-Barrez is from lots linked to that of Monaco. This relationship dates back to 1643, when the county of Carladez came under Monegasque domination, until 1791. The Tower of Monaco, symbol of the city, all in black basalt, is a necessary passage to access the Grand’Rue and the old City.
