Castillet
Aug 26th, 2011 | By admin | Category: Sights & activitiesStanding at the point where the old new towns meet, this building was first a city gate, then a prison. Built mainly in the late 14th century, it was altered by Louis XI during the French occupation, when he added the present Notre-Dame Gate.
The highlight is the rooftop access (142 steps) which gives a magnificent view across the city.
4 Euros entry (accompanied kids free). Worth an hour of anyone’s time.
It is the home of the fascinating Catalan Museum of Roussillon Folk Arts Traditions, known as Casa Pairal.
