Portus Vénéris
In Pyrenees, nature formed Port-Vendres, where the Greek navigators who
wanted to join Agde to Rosas were in the habit of going. Port-Vendres
is known since the 8-th century before J.C, as show it the numerous remains
found in the entry of the Port. The city owes its name: Portus Vénéris,
in the presence of a temple dedicated to "Venus". In 1272, in
the will, " Jacques the Conqueror " gave to his son the Balearic
Islands, Montpelier, Cerdagne and Roussillon. About Roussillon, Jacques
the Conqueror insisted so that his son builds a port to Portus Vénéris.
After his death in 1276, the Realm of Majorca was established in the will
of his(her) father. Works were ended by Jacques 1-st of Majorca. But in
the end of the 15-th century, everything was in ruins.
