Prieuré de Marcevol
Marcevol Priory is situated at an altitude of 500 metres on a plateau overlooking the Tet Valley. The surrounding countryside is magnificent: to the north the Roc del Maure (775m), to the west the Pic de Bau (1025m), to the south the mystical Catalan peak- The Canigou (2785m). Not far from the priory is the 16th century chapel of "Notre Senyora de las Grades", which overlooks the small hamlet.
Remains, such as a dolmen and an oppidum, show the existence of human occupation since the Neolithic era (4000BC). Traces of terrace cultivation, pastoral tracks, green oaks, garrigue, and vines demark the Commune of Arboussols, to which the hamlet of Marcevol has been attached since 1822.
