The gateway to Roussillon, Salses is best known for its rectangular fortress. More than five centuries old and unique in its kind, it was built on the plain with walls of brick and mortar 6 to 12 meters thick in order to best adapt to the ball artillery. Equipped with an impressive defense system, it was built by the Spaniards in 1497, it had for essential role to control the narrow passage between Corbières and the ponds. It lost its strategic interest in 1659 with the signing of the Treaty of the Pyrenees. Restored by Vauban, it was used as a prison, then as a powder magazine.
