Collioure
Highlight • Settlement
The city experienced its most prosperous period in the 13th century when it was attached to the Crown of Aragon. After a few centuries where it successively passed from the Crown of Spain to the Crown of France, the Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659) consecrated its definitive attachment to France. In order to secure the border, Vauban enlarged the Royal Castle, created the immense glacis surrounding it and encircled the town with ramparts, thus giving it its present-day appearance. In the 19th century, the local economy was based on two essential resources: vines and fishing. The burgeoning anchovy salting industry gave it international renown.
In the early 20th century, with the pictorial revolution of Fauvism, painters (Matisse, Derain) discovered Collioure and made this charming little port famous. Since then, visitors have come to admire this privileged place where nature's beauty, the picturesque historical monuments, the mild climate and the brightness of the sky are all brought together.
