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.

Sainte-Colombe-de-la-Commanderie owes its name to the historical presence of a Templar commandery, which operated in the village in medieval times. During the 12th and 13th centuries, the Knights Templar settled in the region, where they managed agricultural land and protected pilgrims. Although much of the original architecture has disappeared or been modified, the Templar legacy remains palpable in the identity of the village.

This place is known for its rich history linked to the Order of the Knights Templar and for its rural beauty, surrounded by vineyards and hills. The village and its immediate surroundings are perfect for those who enjoy medieval history, hiking and peaceful landscapes.

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.

It is a charming Romanesque hermitage situated in the hills above the village of Camélas in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Built in the 11th century, this church is nestled in a rocky outcrop, hence its name "de la Roca", giving it a picturesque and unique appearance in the region. It is a popular destination for hikers and history lovers due to its natural surroundings and its historical and architectural value.
