Tips from the Community
This village lies at the foot of the Aspres and is surrounded by two limestone plateaus, the Causse de Thuir and the Roc de Majorque (altitude 443 m). Founded in the 10th century, it seems to have been forgotten by time after serving as the capital of the Viscounty of Vallespir for more than three centuries.

This castle likely dates back to the 12th century. Although medieval in design, it was remodeled in the 13th and then again in the 16th century. Its architecture is inspired by medieval Catalan architecture, and it is likely privately owned.

Listed as a Historic Monument on October 24, 1927, this pre-Romanesque chapel (10th century) first appeared in writing in the 13th century. Renovated in the 18th century, it housed a gilded and painted wooden altarpiece with marble columns made by the Navarre family. Plundered in the 20th century, the altarpiece was renovated and in 2005, a statue belonging to the ensemble was purchased by the commune of Ille-sur-Têt.
