@Marcus. It's very sad that you resort to editing and cropping photos that were not taken by you and pretending that you had been there in order to get points and become the leader of a region (Ceret).

It was built by the Lords of Saint Cristau, who later took the name of Montesquieu. The keep forms an imposing building with a width of 16 metres and a length of 22 metres. The castle was protected by a wall 12 m high. From the top you have a great view of the plains of the region.

Built from locally quarried marble, the late 19th century Château d'Aubiry sits majestically on the right, halfway between Le Boulou and Céret. The castle has 15 rooms, a chapel, a billiard room and a swimming pool. The walls are decorated with frescoes by the Parisian artist Henry Perrault. The greenhouse was designed by none other than Gustav Eiffel himself! https://anglophone-direct.com/chateau-daubiry-ceret/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldkl_N8uzYk The main purpose of the Fort de Bellegarde was to control and protect the strategic passage through the Pyrenees between France and Spain. For centuries, this region was disputed between the two powers and strengthening the border was essential for the security of the French kingdom. The fortress was designed by the military engineer Vauban, who was known for his innovative fortification techniques. The Fort de Bellegarde was built with an imposing structure and strategically located on the top of a hill, allowing it to have complete visual control over the surrounding terrain and access routes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TByP-RoESXo

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. In the Port of Panissars, at about 340 meters above sea level, there are the ruins of the old priory and the Benedictine hospital of Saint Mary. Among them are the remains of an older monument erected in 71 BC, the Trophy of Pompey.

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.
