Palalda

Palalda (French pronunciation: [palalda] ⓘ; Catalan: Palaldà) is a former commune in Pyrénées-Orientales, now part of Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda.

Palalda is located above the river Tech, to the northeast of Amélie-les-Bains and to the east of Montbolo.

The first mention of Palalda is from the year 814, as being the western limit of the territory of Céret.

In 1790, Palalda is included in the canton of Arles, which remains the same after being united to Amélie-les-bains in 1942.
