(Pyrénées-Orientales)
Perpignan, between the Canigou and the Mediterranean, is the capital of French Catalonia and the only major town in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
A stroll through the narrow streets of old Perpignan will reveal the broad sweep of its past: the Gothic palace of the kings of Majorca and Aragon, symbol of the town's power in the XIIIth century; the former Castillet prison which now houses the Catalan museum of popular arts and traditions; Saint-Jean cathedral; and of course the famous railway station, which Salvador Dali proclaimed to be the "centre of the world"...
