This is certainly a beautiful church worthy of exploring. You definitely get a feel that it was meant to be a bit bigger, but, it has a lot of amazing art in every nook and cranny. One really interesting item is an apparent crypt cemented in by a covering with four skull and crossbones figures - one on each corner. Being close to the sea, it makes you wonder...

We went here with friends and their children. The children age 12 to 16 loved it all! I think there are enough reviews and photos for you to have an idea. Some tips: - they have water shoes for hire - you will get a wet suit - it feels scary sometimes but really all that can happen is you get wet and might gulp down some water Great morning out!

Sixteenth century fortress built by Emperor Charles V. Museum - Arsenal Renaissance. Unique perspective.

We saw this Fort above our apartment every day and just had to walk uphill on a safe path to see inside. Surprised to see a road on the other side right up to the door! But we enjoyed the walk. Lots of suits of armour and weapons to see and marvellous views. Just do it!

We decided to do this walk from Argelès-sur-Mer to Collioure. The route in one word: beautiful. The route is going over the mountains near the sea. So you got a lot of beautiful sights on the sea, coast and the villages around. A lot of the mountains have a sort of stairs so this makes climbing much easier and safer. Tip: instead of taking the bus back to argeles you can take the boat. For 7euro you have a boat back to argeles (duration 15min)

Had a very nice stroll along the wide tree lined Argeles sur Mer promenade. This is plenty of room for both walkers and cyclists plus many boards containing an exhibition of wildlife photographs. The combination of the green trees, the golden sandy beach and the turquoise sea makes the promenade very picturesque.

This villa is the architectural version of Mucha's JOB posters: art nouveau at its best. From the grand staircase that leads to the glass-ceiling portico, to the paneled reception rooms and lush colonnade patio, you will feel like you are at the turn of the century. And, it's free to enter!

There is currently an exhibition showing the styles of Rodin & Maillol. If you love sculpture then this is not be missed, I would dare you to choose but they are both amazing scupltors. The Musee also has a range of other atrists displayed on the next level.
9. Chateau Royale de Collioure

An 800-year-old château with great rampart walks, views, and mildly interesting exhibits on local history and contemporary art.
Reviewed By B238BJjanem
Great place to visit. Not expensive, wonderful views. Had a very interesting exhibition of the Spanish civil war 1935-37 with loads of authentic photos of the very desperate people fleeing for their lives and the massive concentration camp in nearby argeles sur mer The army commandos are situated in the building and we were able to see them doing some training in the bay too. Amazing to wonder how they achieved that huge castle all those years ago.
