Am I the only person capable of seeing that this fortress as depicted is built on top of a mountain with vertical slopes?

I see it as some sort of raised gateway, not necessarily the top of a mountain.

Montségur mountain is famous for its vertical slopes. That is why a hundred knights were able to hold out against an army of ten thousand for nine months. Note a water storage facility on the left and that might be a food storage facility on the right. Historical records refer to storage facilities and to a single besieged tower.

Interesting note re water storage. 

Also note a doorway on the side opposite to the tower. Towers were normally built above the main entrance, so this doorway likely opens to the village that shared the mountaintop with the fortress. The village did not need walls because it was protected by the vertical slopes (again, all according to historical records).

I dont think this accurately describes the montsegur architecture.

After the fall of the fortress, roughly two hundred Cathars were burned alive in a giant bonfire set up in a field below the fortress. The number of stars and glyphs in the depicted field sum up to roughly two hundred. Below the field the VMS might be depicting the flames of the bonfire.

The numbers of stars and glyphs? Are the glyphs indicative of a special kind of Cathar? The ones that could be identified, perhaps? I don't think those are flames, i think they are waves.

After the fall, the Cathar fortress was completely dismantled stone by stone, unfortunately leaving not even ruins that could be tied to the VMS drawing, but luckily we see enough to know that it's Montségur.

This idea makes it easy for you to see it in anything. I think probably it is the case that only you see enough to believe this is Montsegur. If it is, then how do the rest of the rosettes figure into it?
