Why go
Begin among the old-centre lanes around Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, then make a separate ascent to the palace for its commanding position. Perpignan was the continental capital of the medieval Kingdom of Majorca, a history that gives the hilltop palace more meaning than its view alone. The cathedral and palace have distinct visitor conditions.
What to look for

- The Palace of the Kings of Majorca above town
Useful to know
