Château de Belpuig

About

The Château de Belpuig is a ruined castle in the commune of Prunet-et-Belpuig in the Pyrénées-Orientales département of France. The castle was the seat of the Viscounts of Castelnou who reigned over the Vallespir region from the 10th to the 13th centuries. The castle, a 15-minute walk from the village, occupies a strategic position on a rocky spur overlooking the surrounding countryside. The extensive panorama takes in the mountain ranges of Canigou, the Albères, the Corbières Massif and the coast of Languedoc and Roussillon.
