It is a cultural heritage of kings of Majorca. It has great view of town . Not so great if you do not have enough time . You have to walk a bit to go to this place . It is not crowded nor busy at any times. No restaurants for aroudn 1.5kms .

It’s both a very important ancient fortress and an art place with different exhibits dedicated to modern art. I would say that it’s worth it as you can know the historical of the place, enjoy a breathtaking view and walk around. Overall it feels a bit empty as some rooms have no exhibits but it’s definitely a must see place.

If you are in the city and have spare time, you might as well visit this place. Entrance fee needs to be paid. It's nice that you can basically walk around freely and see the palace at your own speed. Bit unfortunate that the rooms were basically completely empty. That's a bit odd. Would have been nicer with some furniture and paintings etc. Nice view from the top.

Beautiful Palace and not at all busy. Well worth a couple of hours to visit. They have a coffee machine but a pity there is no cafe

Visiting the Palais des Rois de Majorque in Perpignan is like stepping back in time to the medieval Mediterranean. This 13th-century palace, once the heart of the Kingdom of Mallorca, is a stunning example of Gothic architecture. The palace’s grandeur is evident from the moment you approach its imposing walls and towers. Inside, the palace offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The rooms, though mostly unfurnished, allow you to appreciate the architectural beauty and historical significance of the site. The views from the top are breathtaking, offering panoramic vistas of Perpignan and the surrounding mountains. One of the highlights of the visit is the interactive film/cartoon that brings the history of the palace to life in a fun and engaging way. It’s a great addition that makes the experience enjoyable for visitors of all ages. The palace is well-maintained, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, providing valuable insights into the history and significance of the site. Whether you’re a history buff or just looking for a unique and enriching experience, the Palais des Rois de Majorque is a must-visit when in Perpignan.
