Elne is a historic town located in southern France's Pyrénées-Orientales department, in the Occitanie region. Originally named Illiberis, it was an important Roman settlement and later became a significant medieval town. The city is particularly known for its well-preserved fortified cathedral, the Cathédrale Sainte-Eulalie-et-Sainte-Julie d'Elne, which dates back to the 11th century and features a remarkable Romanesque cloister.
The town's cultural heritage is deeply rooted in both French and Catalan traditions, reflecting its position near the Spanish border. During World War II, Elne gained recognition for its maternity home, which saved numerous women and children from concentration camps. Today, the town maintains its historical character while serving as a cultural center that preserves and shares its rich architectural and artistic heritage through various museums and historical sites.
