La Verdière is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France.
Perched at the top of the village, the Château of La Verdière embraces a vast panorama. To the north one can see the communes of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and Castellane, to the west the Mont Ventoux and the Luberon, south-west, the mountains of Sainte-Baume and Sainte-Victoire and south-east, the Montagnes des Maures (chain of mountains from the Alps to the Rhone).
In 980, the family of the Counts de Castellane, one of the most ancient and illustrious families of Provence, built a fortress: La Verdière. Having belonged to the Counts of Ventimiglia from 1262 to 1437, the building returned to the house of Castellane and in 1613, the family of the Counts of Forbin. These three great families gave the castle of La Verdière special architecture born out of these different periods of development.
