Fort de Salses is a castle located about 20 km north from Perpignan (along the A9 autoroute).

An impressive Catalan (Spanish) stronghold dating from the 15th century, it was once on the border between Catalonia and France, and was constructed on the site of an earlier castle that had been destroyed. It has subsequently enhanced further by the renowned military 'fortification expert' Vauban.

The castle is attractively built from a mix of stone and red brick.

The Fort de Salses and its interior buildings and fortifications are a good example of military architecture from that period, with several improvements on the earlier style of medieval castle - there are numerous enhancements that enabled both the exterior of the castle and the interior parts to be better defended during an attack - up to 1500 men lived in the castle and could survive a siege of several months duration.

The Salses Fort has been a listed Historic National Monument for more than 100 years - see Salses Fort visitor information for admission details.
