The parish church dedicated to Notre Dame dels Prats was located inside the ramparts, towards the south-west corner of the enclosure. This building dates from the 14th century. Its imposing bell-tower makes it recognisable from afar. It is dedicated to the Virgin, who is called Nostra Senyora dels Prats (Our Lady of the Meadows).
Already mentioned in 920, it was almost entirely rebuilt in the 14th century, in a Gothic style that is quite rare in the department. Argelès is the example of this architecture in the Roussillon region.
The church has a total of 103 works of art for about thirty saints. The vault and the roof were renovated at the end of the 18th century.
