Ancient city of Besalu

17850 Besal ú, Girona, Spain.

Description:

The ancient city of Besalu is a national monument of Spain. This magnificent medieval city managed to preserve its appearance to the present day. Walking along the pavement and admiring small houses, it is difficult to understand what century you are in.

The main attraction of the city can be considered an ancient Roman bridge, which was built in the twelfth century across the river Fluvia.

It is also worth paying attention to the stone church of St. Peter. It is located in the central square of the city and is part of a Benedictine monastery built in 977.

Along with the monuments of antiquity, you can see modern cafes and restaurants, souvenir shops and shops where you can buy local crafts.

After a stroll around the city and seeing all the architectural monuments, it is worth visiting two interesting and unusual museums: one - cheeses and smoked goods, and the second - the Museum of Miniatures.
