The Abbey of St André is an old Benedictine abbey founded by a Spanish monk in the 8th century. Until the 10th century it was a wealthy community thanks to a Count of Roussillon. The complex was destroyed in 1109 but was immediately restored afterwards. In 1151 great damage was caused by the war between Gaufred III. and his son Ginard II, the last Count of Roussillon. The Abbey of St. André suffered from this war, which limited its expansion. It fell into disrepair in the 13th century. Attached to Ste Marie d'Arles from 1592, it remained until the French Revolution. After that the abbey fell into complete disrepair. Today only the abbey church remains.

Perpignan is not only the capital of the French part of Catalonia. With the Palace of the Kings of Mallorca, the Gothic houses in the old town, the Castillet, etc., the city has a lot to offer.
