Collioure Essentials

Collioure is defined by its military history and artistic legacy as the cradle of Fauvism. This selection features the 13th-century Château Royal, once the summer residence of the Kings of Majorca, and the 17th-century Église Notre-Dame-des-Anges, notable for its unique bell tower that formerly served as a lighthouse. The list spans from the central Boramar beach to the defensive heights of Fort Saint-Elme and the Madeloc Tower, while also marking the final resting place of Spanish poet Antonio Machado.

Collioure Heritage

Collioure’s strategic coastal position is defined by centuries of military and religious architecture. The Château Royal, once home to the Kings of Majorca, stands as a central medieval landmark alongside the 17th-century Église Notre-Dame-des-Anges, famous for its bell tower that originally served as a lighthouse. The surrounding hills are guarded by Vauban-influenced fortifications, including the star-shaped Fort Saint-Elme and Fort Dugommier, while the Dolmen de Rimbau provides evidence of prehistoric settlement in the Roussillon region.
