Le Castillet MUSEE CASA PAIRAL

Great value, a gem of a place to cost visit. The tower affords great city views, which are well worth the €2 entry fee. There's exhibitions on 3 floors between the ground floor and the top viewing gallery, although everything is written in French There's some videos on TVs also giving you insight into local history A must do attraction when you're in Perpignan

Not a big musuem inside, but we can see different things about Catalan. Also, we can go to the top to see the view of the city. Considering the price is 2€, it is good to come.

Le Castillet is a beautiful historic landmark in Perpignan, and I’m glad I visited. The architecture is charming and it’s interesting to see such an iconic part of the city’s history up close. However, I was expecting a bit more inside — the space is smaller than I imagined, and there’s not much to explore. Still, it’s worth a quick visit for the lovely views and the chance to appreciate its significance to Perpignan.

The Musee Casa Pairal offers a great opportunity to immerse oneself in local culture and history in a small, bite sized chunk This historic gate which forms part of the city wall system which is no longer intact. The museum itself is small, but bursting with character as illustrated by the images of life sized models of regional leaders through history, as well as a depiction of traditional cultural dress of the area. A visit to the museum also allows access to the rooftop area of the building which, on a clear day, allows for extensive views over the city and surrounding countryside, reaching over to the distant Pyrenees. Worth a trip, don't expect anything huge but 45 minutes spent exploring the Musee Casa Pairal is 45 well spent in my books.

Lots of stairs to get to top - view good of area. Floors with exhibits ( all in French) and pretty low quality graphics and information.

This is one of those attractions where you don't expect much but head on in to kill some time. You might say I was pleasantly surprised that the Castillet was actually well curated and highly interesting. Our group was also fortunate to have the unofficial Mayor of Perpignan Lluis Colet, the great man came out of retirement for the day to be our guide. Be warned the climb to the top is a serious workout but the view from the top is worth the effort.

Beautiful historic military tower located in the heart of the city of Perpignan. It was once part of the city's fortifications and now serves as a museum. The tower is a great example of medieval design, with its imposing walls and impressive gatehouse. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the museum was closed, so we were not able to go inside and explore.

Beautiful military castle in the centre of town. It is 2 euro entry or occasionally free as I found out when I visited. There is 142 steps up to the top so this is not a step free attraction. At each part as you go up the stairs it goes into different rooms showcasing different pieces of history about the castle. Overall it is worth visiting as you get great views over Perpignan.
