  • Panorama

    View of Collioure Bay

    Collioure, with its rich history, offers various tourist sites, each with a unique but equally extraordinary perspective. The bay of Collioure is one of those stunning spots where the sea meets the mountains, providing a perfect place to relax for a moment. Whether you're down in the Catalan town or at a higher viewpoint, make the most of this one-of-a-kind location.
  • Cultural heritage

    Royal Castle of Collioure

    Built in the 13th century to house the court of the Kings of Majorca, the Royal Castle of Collioure has been listed as a historical monument since 1922. Reinforced many times, the castle eventually pushed the city back to the foot of the cape turned into a citadel in the 17th century. It is inseparable from Collioure as the city can not be separated from the sea. To return to the heart of the world of the Royal Castle of Collioure, do not forget the guided tours!
  • Small patrimony

    Saint Vincent Chapel

    Well-known in the region despite its small size, this chapel was built in 1642 as a retreat for hermits and religious figures who sought isolation while remaining accessible to locals seeking guidance. The chapel is a small, rectangular structure with an arched doorway, and behind it stands a large wooden cross bearing a crucified Christ, turned toward the sea.
