Besalú in Girona province is a medieval landmark in Catalonia

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Girona (Region) The town is located in the La Garrotxa region, just a short walk from the stunning views of the volcanic area of ​​the La Garrotxa Nature Reserve, on the final spur of the eastern section of the Girona Pyrenees. Cobblestone streets and facades are the most striking features of the city center and can be seen in many places. The rich medieval heritage brings visitors closer to religious and civil buildings, as well as the remains of the Hispanic settlement that once existed in the town during the Middle Ages. Civil architectural works include the 12th-century Romanesque bridge across the Fluvià River; the Cùria Real building, dedicated to law enforcement; and the residence of Cornellà, which features a magnificent Romanesque arcade. Among the religious monuments we must point out the churches of Saint-Pere, Santa Maria and Sant’Vicens, where Romanesque and Gothic elements alternate. Also noteworthy is the lavish decoration of the Church of Santa Giulia (17th century). Also, in the Jewish Quarter we can visit medieval public baths that were dedicated to bathing in Hebrew rituals. #AprilDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Catalonia
