Sainte-Léocadie

Sainte-Léocadie extends over 18.88 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, with elevations ranging from 1,193 to 2,043 meters above sea level.

The settlement was first documented in 839 under the name Darnacollecta, later changing to Sancta Leocadia in 1034 when it became an ecclesiastical center.

The local church exhibits architectural elements from different periods, including an 11th-century apse and a bell wall that stands as the only one in Cerdagne.

The commune's administrative office, located in Place Michel Aris, operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM for municipal services.

The Cal Mateu estate maintains Europe's highest vineyard at 1,300 meters and houses a museum displaying traditional Cerdagne agricultural tools.
