PALACE OF THE KINGS OF MAJORCA

Located in the heart of Perpignan, dominated by a high promontory, this superb 13th century palace was for nearly a century the center of the ephemeral kingdom of Mallorca.
This palace was born from the will of Jacques II who wanted a home in the continental capital of his kingdom. The castle was started before 1274 in a late Romanesque style and completed after 1300 in the Gothic style. The sumptuous chapels indicate all the refinement of this period and the status of Perpignan as an economic, political and cultural center of the medieval Mediterranean.
