    Hiking

    Panissars was a small village in Antiquity. Today only a few vestiges remain.
    If the site retains such strong historical interest, it is because General Pompey had his trophy built there, to bring to posterity his victory over the Iberians. Getting there also means going to the old border between Gaul and Hispania.

    Hiking

    At the eastern end of the Pyrenees, the current border between France and Spain has its main road crossing point between the French department of the Pyrenees-Orientales and the province of Girona in the Pertús Pass.

    However, in Antiquity (and until the 17th century) access was a little further south of the municipal area, through the Port of Panissars, which today is a relatively wild and isolated place separated from the Pertús pass by a hill in the where the fort or castle of Ballaguarda stands, built in the 17th century.
