Château de Pujols, Medieval castle in Argelès-sur-Mer, France.

The stone fortress stands on a natural hill at 7 meters elevation, featuring characteristic elements of 13th-century military architecture.

The Counts of Roussillon transferred ownership of the castle to the Abbey of Sainte-Marie de Fontfroide, which transformed it into a granary until the 15th century.

The castle received recognition as a protected historical monument in May 1956, preserving its architectural heritage for future generations to study.

Visitors can access the castle through multiple entry points with marked paths, while guided tours provide detailed information about the structure's past.

A covered fountain made of traditional cayrou stone remains near the tower, demonstrating medieval water management techniques.
