Living in Castelló d’Empúries

Castelló d’Empúries is one of the most beautiful medieval towns in the Alt Empordà. The former capital of the County of Empúries, it retains a historic centre of cobbled streets, palaces and bridges, and the basilica of Santa Maria, known as the cathedral of the Empordà. Its municipality also includes Empuriabrava, with its navigable canals, and much of the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Natural Park.

Living here combines the charm of a historic town with the proximity of the beaches of the Bay of Roses and the Costa Brava.
