Campo Santo of Perpignan
Campo Santo de Perpignan
One of the few surviving medieval cloister cemeteries in France, surrounded by marble arcades, and used for exhibitions and open-air concerts in summer.
The Campo Santo was built in the early 14th century and is a rare 'cloister cemetery' in Europe. White marble pointed-arch niches line a square courtyard. Today it is mainly a venue for cultural events, and during the annual 'Visa pour l'Image' international press photography festival in September it serves as an important exhibition space. It sits right next to the Cathedral of Saint-Jean, and opening hours vary with the events.
