Source Wikipedia: The name of the municipality is probably derived from the Latin Eburomagus, a settlement founded by the Romans around 60 BC, of which it is not known whether it only spread out in the surrounding valleys or also extended onto the hill itself. Various small finds from the Gallo-Roman period (4th - 6th centuries) have also been made in the area around the town. In the 12th century, the new Bram was built on a hill with a completely regular circular structure (circulade) consisting of three streets with adjacent houses and a central square in the middle, on which the town's church was soon built. There was only one city gate in the east; the whole complex therefore had a clear defensive character. During this time, most of Bram's residents converted to the Cathar faith; This brought the town to the attention of the crusaders of the Albigensian Crusade (1209-1229), and in 1210 it was taken by Simon de Montfort's troops after a three-day siege. While most of the residents returned to the bosom of the Roman Church and went unpunished, he had the noses and upper lips of 100 stubborn heretics cut off and their eyes gouged out (not entirely correct in Wiki, the residents were blinded); he left one eye so that he could escort the others to Lastours, a good 30 kilometers away, the crusaders' next target. Nothing is known about the time of the Hundred Years' War (1347-1463) and the religious unrest of the 16th century. In any case, the town experienced its economic heyday in the 17th century - the Canal du Midi was built nearby and new houses were now also built outside the city walls.

the voie vert starts from Bram. A quiet cycle path with small pebbles that runs through mainly agricultural areas towards the Pyrenees.
