Near Camping L'Hippocampe

Église Notre Dame del Prat (3.6 km)

The parish church dedicated to Notre Dame dels Prats was located inside the ramparts, near the enclosure's southwest corner. This structure was constructed in the 14th century. Its massive bell tower distinguishes it from a distance. It is named after the Virgin, who is known as Nostra Senyora dels Prats (Our Lady of the Meadows). It was first recorded in 920 and was nearly fully rebuilt in the 14th century in a Gothic style that is extremely unique in the department. In the Roussillon area, Argelès is an example of a similar style. The church features 103 works of art for around thirty saints. At the end of the 18th century, the vault and ceiling were rebuilt.

Saint-Ferreol-de-la-Pava Chapel (10 km)

The chapel did not become the property of Argelès until 1858, the same year it was dedicated to St. Ironwood. It has been a listed monument since 1991.

Massane Tower (20 km)

700 years after its construction, Massana, Argelès's symbol and witness of his past, always watches over the city.

Take your kids to Luna Park (1 km).

Explore Perpignan (22 km). 

Known for its rich cultural history, distinct gastronomy, and wine production, this medieval city is the perfect holiday destination. South of the old town, the huge Gothic-and-Romanesque Palace of the Kings of Majorca has ramparts with views to the coast.
