Lake Banyoles (Estany de Banyoles)

Highlight • Lake

The formation of the lake took place by the collapse of the upper layers of the subsoil, impermeable, inside the cavities that the water formed in the permeable rocks below it.

Lake Banyoles is the largest non-coastal pond, and whose water springs naturally, in Catalonia. The lake is a classic cycling destination in Girona, since one of the province's greenways reaches the town of Banyoles, and it also has a bike lane that allows you to go around the lake.

Palol de Revardit Castle and Church

Highlight • Castle

The origins of the castle can be found in the year 1075 when Bishop Bernat de Carcassonne,[1] son of Cornellà del Terri, died there. Today, of this castle, there are remnants of the wall and fragments of the main building, which today has become a farmhouse. What stands out, however, is the Gothic, square tower, of considerable width and height that juts out right in front of the church of Sant Miquel and which, despite its austerity, is a very spectacular construction. Further apart there is an old circular tower that was part of this enclosure.

Riparian Forest of the Ter River in Sant Julià de Ramis

Highlight • Forest

As it passes through Pla de Can Font, you can enjoy the variety of plants and animals of this typical forest on the banks of the River Ter, in the municipality of Sant Julià de Ramis.

In this place we can find willows with twill (Saponario-salicetum purpurae), which occupy a notable extension, especially in the most frequently flooded places. Apart from the serge, there are other trees typical of the riverside forests, such as the alder (Alnus glutinosa), the black poplar (Populus nigra) or the white willow (Salix alba), etc.

Sant Pere de Besalú and the Besalú Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

The monastery of Sant Pere was founded in 977 by Bishop-Count Miró I and consecrated in 1003 by Count Bernhard I, also known as Taillefer. A Benedictine community of twelve monks lived there. However, with Count Taillefer's death in 1020, the decline of the count's rule began, culminating in its final demise in 1111. From then on, the abbot of the monastery became the highest authority over the population, which gave the Church considerable political influence in the 12th and 13th centuries.
