Discover Salses-le-Château
The fortress of Salses stands proudly between the Étang de Salses and the Roussillon mountains. Emerging from the vineyard as if born from the sand, the fortress is truly impressive. A unique example of Spanish medieval military architecture in France! Remodelled by Vauban, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
