Castelló d’Empúries

Nestled near the mouth of the River Muga on Spain’s Gulf of Roses, Castelló d’Empúries is a charming medieval town with a rich architectural heritage. Once the seat of the earls of Empúries until the 14th century, the town features cobbled streets and a well-preserved Jewish Quarter. A notable highlight is the 14th-century Gothic church, which stands as a testament to the town’s historical significance. Today, visitors can explore these historic sites, wandering through the narrow lanes and absorbing the town’s enduring medieval atmosphere.
