The Palace of the Kings of Majorca rises above Perpignan on a broad fortified hill where warm stone walls enclose airy courtyards arcaded walkways and grand halls that reflect the elegance of the medieval Majorcan court. As you wander through the palace you move from sunlit terraces that open toward the Canigou peak to cool interior rooms shaped by both Gothic refinement and Mediterranean simplicity and the shifting light across the ramparts gives the entire place a calm rhythmic atmosphere. The panoramic views stretch across the city the Roussillon plain and the distant mountains and they naturally invite you to linger or take photographs before continuing your exploration. After your visit you can extend the experience with an easy walk back into the historic center or follow nearby paths around the hill for a gentle outdoor activity that pairs well with the palace’s blend of history openness and southern serenity.
