Notre-Dame la Réal church

Notre-Dame la Réal is a church in Perpignan built in the Catalan style with red stone and decorative stone patterns on its walls. The building contains a series of lateral chapels that shape its interior layout.

The building was established in the early 14th century as a royal foundation. It later became the site of an important church council where leading figures of that era gathered.

The name refers to the royal connection of this place. Inside, you notice carved wooden elements and artworks that reflect the religious traditions of the Catalan region.

The church stands on Rue de l'Eglise la Real in central Perpignan and is easy to reach on foot. Entry is free, and the building is generally open during the day.

Inside you find a white marble baptistery and an intricately carved wooden tomb that showcase regional craftsmanship of past centuries. The two organs were built by a local artisan family and continue to shape the acoustic experience.
