Description:
The Castillet is one of the chief sights of Perpignan. The machicolated and crenellated redbrick building from the 14th century is both a gateway and fortress. It houses the museum, also known as La Casa Païral, which contains exhibitions of Catalan regional artifacts and folkloric items, including typical dress. Part of the charm of the Castillet derives from its bulky-looking tower, which you can climb for a good view of the town.
