Still nicely surprised even though many reviews have mentioned it's better than expected. The walkway leading up to the garden, accessible before paying, and the view of the city from there were enjoyable. Did not go inside because it's not opened until 11am.

My experience here was very similar to most of the other reviewers. I was pleasantly surprised upon entry. The outside looks plain boring. But once you enter, it seems like a whole another world. There were several contemporary elements incorporated in the palace, to keep the visitors engaged. My personal favorite was the projection room, which had an interesting way of story telling. I don’t want to reveal more here as it will spoil the fun for others. I went in October 2022 on a Saturday and the entry was free. So, definitely worth he visit

Great views from the top, so worth the €7 entry fee just for that. Also it was cool to tour the old castle and imagine what each room would originally have functioned as. However, it did feel a bit bare as most of the rooms had nothing in them. However, there was a live art exhibition to give a small sense of what life was like when it functioned as a castle which was nice.

It was so much better than I expected. Its such a beautiful building and it is well preserved. The guides are very helpful and the literature is available in Spanish, Catalan, English and German. The views of Perpignan are amazing from the top of the Keep. Very cheap admission, 3.50 for an adult. Well worth a visit if in the area. Be sure to see the visual virtual garden, it's so relaxing and enjoyable.to watch.

If you’re in Perpignan you should definitely visit this beautiful piece of history. It is very cheap: 9€ and free for kids. We went on a Sunday and it was pretty much empty, we could enjoy the rooms with no crowd and also the beautiful view from the top of the Palais and take nice pictures. Inside it is not quite much specified in the sheet they give you, it is just pretty basic, more like a map. We could listen to the monks play and sing, it was a great experience. By the time you return your sheet you can buy lots of souvenirs which are really cheap! They also have books that contain the whole story of the Palais and the kingdom of Mallorca, worth it! This place is a must!
