Peratallada, declared a historical-artistic complex, is one of the most important centers of the Empordà in terms of medieval architecture.
BCIN (Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional).
With extraordinary beauty and appeal, it retains its ancient feudal appearance, with highlights including the fortified castle with its keep and palace (11th-14th century), the walls (12th-13th century) and the church of St. Estave (Romanesque, early 12th century).
The large moat surrounding the town, dug into the living rock, is striking. Hence the name of the town: Pedra Tallada.
The town retains its medieval urban layout. From the main square, with its unique porches, to the network of narrow streets where we will discover an interesting collection of popular architecture.
One of the great attractions of Peratallada is having managed to preserve its rural character, faithfully maintaining its architectural and urban origins and, at the same time, making available to the visitor a suggestive artisan and gastronomic offer that, with supreme quality, emanates from the deepest roots that have given that unique character to the Empordà.
In Peratallada we will find in the most unexpected corners cozy bars and restaurants, hotels, antique shops, artisans, art galleries and that pleasant and welcoming atmosphere that permeates the whole complex and captivates from the first moment anyone who lets themselves get lost in its streets.
