Still to be seen in the old part here are stretches of the town walls, with well-preserved gateways leading into the town and the castle on top of the hillock. That fortified Gothic castle has been through several phases of renovation. It is surrounded by sizeable landscaped grounds, and now houses the present-day Casino de Peralada, one of the three casinos in Catalonia, as well as an international festival for the performing arts in the summer.
