Pals

view map

The enclosure Gothic of Pals unveils to the tourist, pretty cobbled streets lined with houses of nobility. The village stands on a hill surrounded by a marshy plain, now occupied by the famous rice culture. The view of the valley of Ter and the Montgri hills from the “Josep Pla mirador” allows the look to kiss a beautiful landscape ranging from the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean and the Medes Islands.The restoration of the village took more than thirty years. All houses comply with the architectural features of the rest of the city, giving a unique unit to the enclosure. Pals is characterized by its cobbled streets barred by arches and lined with facades with arched windows and stone balconies. The streets of Pals will reveal as Gothic arches and medieval burials. A portion of the stone castle was used for the construction of the church of Sant Pere, which dates from the tenth century. Plan Romanesque apse and nave are Gothic, while the gate and tower are Baroque. Other points of interest are Plaza Mayor, Calle Mayor burials, as well as the Museum of Underwater Archaeology.
