The Military Museum closed down in 2009 and its contents were moved to Figueres. The castle is now set to become an International Peace Centre, although the remit of this is still undecided. For now, visitors can stroll through the castle, climb the battlements for fabulous views, or picnic in the wide moat. There's a café in the Plaça de Armes.
