What to see in Llívia?
Llívia is a small village in the Eastern Pyrenees, completely surrounded by French territory, made up of stone streets and slate roofs. It is in a narrow valley, between mountains that almost reach 3000 meters high. Among the most interesting places to visit are:
The ruins of an ancient castle
Llívia Castle was the main fortification of Cerdanya in the 14th and 15th centuries. In 1478, after a fourteen-month siege, it was taken and destroyed by the French king Louis XI to prevent future rebellions.
The remains of a Roman forum
The Forum of Iulia Libya, a rectangular building probably built in the 1st century AD, has revealed vases, utensils and coins minted during the reigns of Julius Caesar, Tiberius and Claudius.
The oldest pharmacy in Europe
The Esteve Pharmacy, founded in the 15th century, is considered the first pharmacy in Europe. Today it is a museum where old utensils and plants used to make medicines are displayed.
They say that Catalonia was built around its castle!
Where is Llívia?
