Ruins of the Chateau d'Opoul-Perillos, also known as the Chateau d'Opoul or Chateau Salveterra, Opoul-Perillos, Pyrenees-Orientales, Catalogne du Nord, France. It was 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. The castle ruins include an enclosure with a moat, a tower, vaulted rooms, a machicolation, ramparts and cisterns. Picture by Manuel Cohen
