Perpignan Must-Sees
Perpignan served as the continental capital of the Kingdom of Majorca during the 13th and 14th centuries, a legacy preserved in the fortified Palace of the Kings of Majorca. The city's Mediterranean Gothic architecture is visible in the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral and the Loge de Mer, while the 14th-century Castillet gate marks the historic entrance to the old town. From the ornate Art Nouveau interiors of Hôtel Pams to medieval cloister-cemeteries, these sites reflect a unique blend of French and Catalan history.
