Pont Vell of Besalú

Highlight • Bridge

Among all the architectural jewels of Besalú, its impressive Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià river stands out. It has seven arches and a fortified access portal. Undoubtedly, an architectural work that seems to be taken from a story.

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.

Historic Center of Besalú

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

A striking bridge was built in the 14th century and has been destroyed several times. A castle towers over the town, the entire town center being a protected monument. The population lived separately, with the Christian side on one side and the Jewish population on the right. Besalú has the only surviving mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath for women, on the Iberian Peninsula. The town is characterized by narrow streets and low stone houses, cafés, and souvenir shops.
