The Roc de Majorque (444 m high) preserves the remains of a large Roman square tower. A magnificent 360° panorama of the Corbières, the Roussillon plain, the Pyrenees, and their foothills is available. An orientation table is available there.

Its measurements defy competition: 21 meters tall and over 5 meters in circumference, thanks to which the cork oak at Mas Santol in Reynès has been considered, since July 1, 2024, the largest cork oak in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. The measurements taken by specialists in January 2023 are conclusive. This exceptional tree far exceeds the average size of its congeners, which generally reach between 10 and 15 meters. The one at Mas Santol is even more impressive than the "whistling cork oak," which reaches a maximum of 16.2 meters in Portugal and which previously held the title.

Roc de Mallorca is also interesting from a geological point of view, as it is a prominent rock formation in the landscape, and its elevated location makes it a reference point for hikers and explorers of the region.

One of the main attractions of Roc de Mallorca is the stunning views from the top. From there, you can see the landscapes of the Eastern Pyrenees, the surrounding valleys and, on clear days, you can even see Canigó, the iconic sacred mountain of the Catalans. You also have views of nearby villages such as Céret and Reynès.

It is a typical example of the Catalan Romanesque style, with its simple but robust stone structure, characterised by a bell tower and a semicircular apse. Although it is small, its construction on top of a rock gives it a special character. Inside, although austere, the calm and spiritual atmosphere typical of Romanesque churches stands out.
