Castelnou is a very beautiful town. Well worth a visit.

trail nearby was also very nice,

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.

Castelnou is situated at the foot of the Aspres Mountains, with the legendary Catalan mountain Canigou in the background.

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.

dynamic lighting in Catalan colors at night.

Great trail for mountain biking, but some sections are not easy. Good physical condition is necessary. Thanks to whoever put this trail together. Tiwok66
