Church of Saint Vincent in Besalú

Highlight • Religious Site

The church has a basilica-like floor plan with three naves, a crossing, and three semicircular apses. The central nave is higher than the side aisles and has a slightly pointed barrel vault. The side aisles, in contrast, have quarter-circle vaults. The main facade of the church features a striking Gothic stained-glass window and a rose window above it. On one of the side walls is the imposing and very well-preserved Romanesque St. Raphael Portal. Inside, it houses the Gothic tomb of Father de Rovira, who brought the relics of the martyr St. Vincent here in the 15th century.

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.

Ruins of the Sant Llorenç de Sous Monastery

Highlight • Historical Site

The church of Sant Llorenç de Sous was a temple located within the monastery of the old town of Sous. At present, only the ruins of the church of the monastery remain, damaged by the earthquakes of the 15th century, which forced them to abandon it definitively in the 18th century to build the current church of Sant Llorenç.

Sanctuary of Mare de Déu del Mont and Jacint Verdaguer Statue

Highlight • Religious Site

The sanctuary of the Mare de Déu del Mont is located on the peak of the Sierra del Mont, at an altitude of 1,124 metres. Next to the sanctuary we find the statue of Jacint Verdaguer and an incredible viewpoint to appreciate the landscape that surrounds the mountain, from the Empordà plain, the Alta Garrotxa to the southern slopes of the Pyrenees.

Hostel of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Mont

Highlight • Restaurant

At the top of the climb is a Hostel with a cafe on the far side. It has one of the best views of the region and feels like it's set on top of the world. Well worth spending some time there to soak it up before descending back down.

Mare de Déu del Mont Sanctuary and the Statue of Jacint Verdaguer

Highlight • Religious Site

The sanctuary is located on the summit of a mountain, Mont, and enjoys privileged views over the Empordà plain and the mountains of Alta Garrotxa and the southern slopes of the Girona Pyrenees. The adjoining church dates from the late Romanesque period, built in the early 14th century, with a pointed barrel vault. In the 18th century, an inn was built, famous for having hosted the poet Jacint Verdaguer, who wrote one of his most famous poems here, "Canigó" (a mountain in the Pyrenees visible from here). In 2008, a public subscription funded a two-meter-high bronze statue of the poet. The inn currently operates as a restaurant and hotel.
