Domme (Occitan: Doma) is a commune of approximately 1,000 inhabitants located in the département of Dordogne, in southwestern France.
The town, an example of the medieval fortified town known as a bastide, was founded by Philip the Bold in 1281. Graffiti by Knights Templar imprisoned here following the dissolution of the order in 1307 may be observed on the tower gates.
