The Castillet dungeon!

The Castillet, Perpignan's landmark, is much more than just a historical monument. It is home to the Casa Pairal museum. Through its captivating exhibits, this museum offers a journey through time to the heart of Catalan identity.

The highlight is the summit of the keep. Proudly dominating the urban landscape, the summit of the Castillet rewards visitors with a breathtaking panoramic view. The 360-degree view embraces the city center and beyond, offering a breathtaking spectacle of ochre roofs and Pyrenean mountains melting into the horizon.

But reaching this enchanting view is not without effort. You have to climb no fewer than 142 steps, each one punctuated by the excitement of what awaits you at the summit. 

A climb worth a thousand memories, and one that will leave images etched in your memory for years to come.
