Loge de mer, Gothic maritime tribunal in Perpignan, France
The Loge de Mer is a Gothic building in old Perpignan featuring pointed arches at ground level and grouped windows in the upper floors that signal its importance. The facade shows careful stonework that reflects the craftsmanship of the period.
A court for maritime trade matters was established in the late 1300s, and a permanent building soon followed to house this function. It became a symbol of the trading prosperity that Perpignan experienced during that era.
The building was where traders gathered to settle business matters and resolve trade disputes that affected the city's commerce. It reflects how important maritime trade was to daily life in medieval Perpignan.
The building sits in the heart of the old town and is easy to reach on foot when walking through narrow medieval streets. Visiting in the morning gives you better light to see the details carved into the stone.
The facade features a carved ship and a relief showing Saint John standing above water. These symbols show how closely connected this place was to seafaring and the faith of the traders who worked there.
