The Castillet is a fortification and city door located in Perpignan (Pyrénées-Orientales, France).

The Castillet was made of three parts : the big Castillet, the small Castillet (former city gate), and a polygonal bastion. The bastion was destroyed in the early 20th century, but the big and small Castillet were saved from demolition.[1]
