Costa Brava & Girona Pyrenees: a journey to a land steeped in culture To talk about culture in the Costa Brava & Girona Pyrenees means going back to the origins of civilisation. If we begin our search in order of antiquity, we will discover megalithic monuments in the Albera and Gavarres mountains, prehistoric caves in Serinyà, an ancient Iberian settlement in Ullastret, as well as Romanesque, Gothic, baroque and art nouveau elements feature on all the routes. Our coast has welcomed and been home to Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans, who built towns like Empúries, where nowadays we can trace the footsteps of those first visitors.

From the Middle Ages we conserve exceptional examples of architecture, including the monasteries of Sant Pere de Rodes or Santa Maria de Ripoll.

In recent times, the work of such artists as the genius Salvador Dalí has introduced a new interpretation of our cultural setting and landscape by capturing its beauty in superb artistic creations. Nowadays, the Dalí Triangle, formed by the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the Dalí House in Portlligat and the Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol, allow the visitor to embark on an almost metaphysical journey through a world of idyllic, unique landscapes.

The region’s capital, Girona, situated halfway between the coast and the Pyrenees, boasts a wide range of cultural activities and monuments. The conservation of its heritage is particularly noteworthy, with an Old Town replete with places of interest.

A cultural and religious itinerary through life in the Middle Ages. Over a thousand years of history stand side by side in this open-air museum, where the personality of the streets and singular buildings reminds us of the town’s importance in the Catalan medieval era, when it was the capital of the county of Empúries. At the basilica of Santa Maria (c. 11th 18th) known as “the cathedral of the Empordà”, the visitor will experience the spiritual devotion that led the town’s artists and inhabitants to build such a majestic work. During the walk, you will discover the ramparts and portal, the Casa Gran Gothic mansion, the fourteenth-century medieval prison (the only one of its kind) and the Farinera Ecomuseum, which bear faithful witness to this county town’s splendid past.

In 1285, after being invaded by Philip III, the Bold, of France, and defended by Peter III, the Great, the town of Peralada was burnt down. During the tour, Ramon Muntaner, one of the Catalan chroniclers, tells us all about these events and describes how some of the historical characters, were involved in them. The result of the reconstruction was Peralada as we know it today, although it was not at all easy to raise it from the ashes, without money and with both the town and its people devastated. * Contact the Cultural Tourism Centre for information and organised groups.
