Col de Panissars, Mountain pass and archaeological site at Le Perthus, France-Spain border
The Col de Panissars consists of ancient stone structures positioned at an elevation between 325 and 568 meters in the Albera Massif mountain range.
The strategic pass witnessed a significant battle in 1285 when King Philip the Bold of France suffered defeat against Peter III of Aragon.
The archaeological remains include a medieval priory built in the 11th century along the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
Visitors can access the site through the D900 road system, which connects to major transport routes between France and Spain.
The site contains remnants of Pompey's Trophy, a Roman monument discovered in 1983 during excavations along the Via Domitia.
