A Saturday in Perpignan: Le Palais des Rois de Majorca
Le Palais des Rois de Majorque was finished in 1309, taking 33 years to build. Jacques II built the palace for the capitol of his kingdom of Mallorca, Perpignan.
The palace was built on a hill above the town and a thick wall went all the way around the town.
The king's quarters were on the north side while the queen's were on the south. They were connected by a narrow corridor. There were also two chapels, the top one for the king and the bottom one for the queen.
One of the queens had lions living in the dry moat around the palace and she let them eat the village's goats living on the pastures nearby.
