A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
For a brief period during the medieval era, Perpignan emerged as a significant European center. This city, located inland from the Mediterranean in Roussillon, served as the capital of the Kingdom of Majorca, resulting in an array of distinctive russet-hued medieval structures crafted from brick.
Perpignan, the second city of Catalonia, a region that straddles France and Spain, is a wonderfully lively city. Now part of Languedoc-Roussillon, the French Catalans maintain a unique identity, evident in their own language and the national colors of yellow and red prominently displayed. Perpignan is an excellent place to explore, especially its charming old streets. Be sure to visit the folk culture exhibits located at the 14th-century gateway of Le Castillet, which houses the Casa Pairal museum.
