Framed Art Prints

The frame consists of a wooden cast with a simple structure, the idea being to favor the work rather than the frame. The methacrylate we use has been specially selected for its durability, transparency and strength, which guarantee a quality close to that of glass without risk of breakage during transport.

  • Fine Art Giclée printing is done on special paper

  • Printed artwork to the dimensions you choosed and will also include a white border.

  • We offer a choice of three finishes: natural wood, wood covered with a dark brown varnish and wood painted black.

About the monument

Forteresse de Salses

A strategic defensive position between Catalonia and France. Built by the great Spanish architect Ramiro Lopez in the late 15th century on a site with a source of spring water, most useful in the event of a siege, the fortress guarded the original border. It was besieged, captured and recaptured in 1503, 1639, and 1640, before being definitively taken by the French in 1642. The Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 redefined the borders, and Salses lost its strategic role and importance. Nevertheless, Vauban began partially restoring it in 1691.
