View from the Trou la Caune, a 50x15m limestone cave, with large stalagmites and concretions, near Perillos, Pyrenees-Orientales, Catalogne du Nord, France. In the distance is the abandoned village of Perillos. The medieval village grew with the adjacent Chateau d'Opoul-Perillos, also known as the Chateau d'Opoul or Chateau Salveterra, built by Jacques I of Aragon or Jaume I in 1246 on a rocky hill overlooking the plateau, to protect the border between France and the Kingdom of Aragon. It was besieged in 1598 by the French and taken by them in 1639, and in 1642 Richelieu ordered the castle to be abandoned and destroyed. Picture by Manuel Cohen
