Escala (Empúries)

Catalunya / Catalogne

Empúries, also known as Ampurias (Catalan: Empúries, Spanish: Ampurias), was a town on the Mediterranean coast of the Catalan comarca of Alt Empordà in Catalonia, Spain. It was founded in 575 BC by Greek colonists from Phocaea. It was later occupied by the Romans (Latin: Emporiæ), but in the Early Middle Ages, when its exposed coastal position left it open to marauders, the town was abandoned.

Empúries (nom officiel, en catalan), en castillan Ampurias, est un port antique gréco-romain, situé sur la commune de L'Escala, près de Gérone, en Catalogne (Espagne)
