Collioure’s most prominent monument is its seaside castle, built on the site of a former Roman castrum between 1266 and 1344 by the counts of Roussillon and the kings of Aragon. It was later occupied by the Mallorcan court, although the outer wall was the work of Vauban in the 17th century. Interior furnishings are minimal, but the hybrid Spanish-French architectural styles are striking and the coastal views lovely.
Concerts take place in the grounds throughout the year.
