Puig de Sant Cristau, Mountain summit in Albères massif, Pyrénées-Orientales, France.
The Puig de Sant Cristau reaches an elevation of 1,015 meters and presents multiple hiking trails through varied landscapes of the eastern Pyrenees.
The mountain played a strategic role during the War of Roussillon in 1794, when French generals Augereau and Dugommier confronted Spanish forces.
A medieval castle ruins from the 12th century and a chapel containing a guest book mark the summit of this mountain.
Hikers can access the mountain from the parking area above Saint-Jean l'Albère village, following marked trails for a 7.2-kilometer round trip.
The mountain features ammunition storage spaces carved into the rock, which remain from historical military operations in the region.
