Château de Rodès stands in Rodès (Pyrénées-Orientales), in the Occitanie region of France. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rocky ridge above the Têt valley, the ruins of Rodès castle overlook the old village and its former Saint-Valentin chapel. First recorded in 1068 as castellum Rodenis, the stronghold went through eight centuries of Catalan feudal history before losing its strategic role. Visitors come mainly for the site itself and the view over the Conflent region, rather than for well-preserved remains.

Written from Château de Rodès

The ruins are freely accessible, with no facilities or set visiting hours.
Sturdy footwear and some physical effort are needed, since the ridge is steep on nearly every side.
