Perpignan has long been a military town surrounded by high walls and a place where clashes between the crowns of France, Aragon and Castille have taken place. It retains a significant architectural legacy of its prestigious past. As the capital of the kingdom of Majorca, Perpignan experienced a strong economic boom in sheet trading. Its story is told through its streets and monuments such as the Castillet, the sea Lodge, the cathedral and his cloister-cemetery and its various palaces where its strong catalan accent rings thanks to its popular and religious traditions.
