Beautiful well preserved structure and great views of Perpignan and the surrounding countryside. Unfortunately the reception would not allow us to store our bags so only one of us could visit while the other stayed with our baggage. Plenty of scope for additional exhibits but worth the 7€ entry and an hour or so of your time.

Stunning 13th century castle. Quite breathtaking views and well worth doing. It’s free on Sundays and the light exposition was a real bonus to see. There’s ramps into the main area but I would say it’s tricky to access by wheelchair. Well worth a visit and you can spend an hour or so browsing the architecture

Very much worth a visit but I just hope they can display more artifacts to make it more alive. The light exhibit was an unexpected highlight!

After going up the steps to the top (ramp available for wheelchairs), you are met with a very impressive view of the front of the building. There are some lovely old pieces of furniture dotted around and equally old paintings on some of the walls

A nice castle that should definitely be part of your visit to Perpignan. Don't miss out on the light show in the bottom left of the castle (if it's still there). Also, do go to the top tower, it's a little bit hidden, but it's the most beautiful part. Also, it's free for under 26 year olds.
