Castillet in Perpignan, France, is a historic monument that serves as an emblem of the city. Originally constructed in the 14th century, it was part of the city’s defensive walls and later used as a gate and fortress. The structure features a distinctive red brick facade and a blend of Gothic and early Renaissance architectural styles. Over the centuries, Castillet has also functioned as a prison. Today, it houses the Casa Pairal Museum, which is dedicated to Catalan folk art and traditions, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage.
