The castles of the Loire are over 300 castles located in the Loire valley and in transverse valleys, in central France. The castles were built starting from the 10th century when the sovereigns of France, followed by the court nobility, chose the valley for their summer residences. By virtue of the presence of the large number of castles the valley itself has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
