Saint-Jean-le-Vieux is the town's original church.
On May 16, 1025, Gaufred II count of Roussillon and Béranger bishop of Elne celebrated the consecration of the new church dedicated to Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
In 1102, Gislabert II instituted canonical life in the church, and in 1116, Arnau-Gaufred erected a hospital for the poor (Saint-Jean) to the west of the church's perimeter wall.
In the first half of the 13th century, the building underwent extensive renovation: the beautiful portal carved with a majestic Christ dates from this period.
The church is not open to the public. You can admire the portal from the forecourt adjacent to the cathedral.
