Peratallada is one of the best-preserved medieval villages in Catalonia, located in the Baix Empordà region, in the province of Girona. Its name means “carved stone,” referring to the excavated rock that forms part of its walls and moats.
Walking through Peratallada is like stepping back in time. Its cobbled streets, stone houses, and passageways create a truly charming medieval labyrinth. The site was declared historic-artistic due to its excellent state of preservation.
The village developed around its castle, documented since the 11th century, and during the Middle Ages it was an important fortified settlement protected by walls and a moat carved into the rock.
Today, Peratallada combines history, gastronomy, and tourism, making it one of the most attractive destinations on the Costa Brava for those seeking authenticity and beauty.
