This is a text explaining the founding of Roman cities in Catalonia; here's the original sentence:
D’altra banda, les dimensions reduïdes de la nova ciutat d’Iluro suggereixen més aviat la imatge d’una ciutat plaça forta en la qual l’element fonamental fos el romà o itàlic, encara que això no exclogués en absolut la presència de població autòctona.

Important geographical location
The town of Oloron-Sainte-Marie lies in an important geographical position, on the confluence of two rivers. Originally, there were two separate and warring towns, Oloron and Sainte-Marie. Oloron was a fortified hill town, formerly known as the ancient basque capital, Iluro, which was burnt down by the Romans. Iluro was re-built and re-named Oloron by the Viscomtes of Béarn. It occupied the high territory. Then there was Sainte-Marie in the plains below, which was built around its Cathedral. At first, the two towns were bitter rivals, but they were finally united in 1858 by a binding decree. Today the town still retains a certain commercial importance.

stronghold
Hi,
it is often advisable, when trasnlating from Catalan, to look for "difficult" Catalan terms in the French dictionary.
In this case "place forte", which means, just like in Catalan, stronghold.
mont-dauphin.monuments-nationaux.fr/en/bdd/pdf/1
You could also translate it as "stronghold town".
Best regards,
Milena
