Castle with vaulted rooms, chapel, ramparts with view on Collioure and the sea, organizes exhibitions and shows
Built by the Counts of Roussillon and the kings of Aragon in the 12th and 14th centuries, the castle was the court of the kings of Majorca during the brief episode of their reign. Thereafter, it was occupied by the Spanish until 1642, then fell into the hands of the French. Vauban then reinforces the citadel. Architecture lovers will appreciate the warhead vaulted rooms, the chapel, but also the impressive ramparts from which you can enjoy a superb view of the sea and the city. Exhibitions and shows animate the castle throughout the year.

Members' reviews on ROYAL CASTLE
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
There is a record of the castle at "Castrum Caucoliberi" having been mentioned as early as 673, indicating that the settlement here was of strategic and commercial importance during the Visigoth ascendancy.
Collioure used to be divided into two villages separated by the river Douy, the old town to the south named Port d'Avall (in French known as Le Faubourg) and the upstream port, Port d'Amunt .
dommage cependant que la visite guidé nous déplace que dans 2 endroits de ce bel édifice. Un accompagnement dans plus d' espaces clef aurai était un plus.
