Places to see in ( Perpignan - France )

Perpignan is a southern French city near the Mediterranean coast and the border with Spain. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Majorca during the 13th century, and a significant Catalan influence is evident in its medieval core. South of the old town, the huge Gothic-and-Romanesque Palace of the Kings of Majorca has ramparts with views to the coast.

Framed by the peaks of the Pyrenees 13km west of the Mediterranean coastline and just 38km north of the Spanish border, Perpignan radiates out from the tight knot of the old town's warren of alleys, palm-shaded squares and shabby tenements painted in shades of lemon, peach and tangerine. Historically, Perpignan (Perpinyà in Catalan) was capital of the kingdom of Mallorca, a Mediterranean power that stretched northwards as far as Montpellier and included all the Balearic Islands; the Mallorcan kings’ palace still stands guard at the southern end of the old town. Its proximity to Spain means the town is strong on fiestas.

Perpignan (Perpinyà in catalan) is the capital of the department of Pyrénées-Orientales, the Northern Catalonia part of France and is situated about 15km from the sea. Perpignan is home to about 117 000 people, and has two rivers flowing through it; with the Têt to the north, and the Basse through the centre.

The main way to get around in Perpignan (due to its relatively small size) is by foot, but there are buses run by Compagnie Transports that go right through the city centre, and then further out, even going as far as Cabestany and Canet. Driving is also a good way to get about, with lots of underground parking in the city centre, but beware, during the summer and 'tourist season' there will be a lot of traffic, and few parking places left.

The Cathedral of St Jean Baptiste was begun in 1324 and finished in 1509. From the outside unimpressive but inside a formidable construction in the typical south French gothic style. Alot to see in ( Perpignan - France ) such as :

Remembering the Batttle of the Ebro. Episode 1: Fayón

At midnight on July 25, 1938, the Republican army crossed the Ebro, attacking and breaking through the nationalist defensive lines between Amposta and Mequinensa.
After 115 days of terrible fights, and while Franco's army was advancing, the Republican troops began a gradual withdrawal.
Today, seventy five years later, the remains of the battle are still present in many of the sceneries of the regions in Terra Alta and Ribera de Ebro. The visit to these places and to the historical interpretation centers which contextualize them, allow you to have an approach to those facts in the same place where they were wrote and they let us reflect on the words from the American philosopher George Santayana: People who forget their history are doomed to repeat it.
