Church of Sant Llorenç de la Muga
Highlight • Religious Site
santllorencdelamuga.cat/ca/Sant Llorenç de la Muga is located in the high Muga valley, in an area also known as the mountain Empordà or the Garrotxa d'Empordà due to its mountainous terrain.
The urban center is located in a pronounced meander of the La Muga river, which crosses the municipal area in a route of eleven kilometers, where there is a great diversity of pools.
The medieval walled enclosure stands out for its good state of conservation, as well as most of the houses in the old town. In the center of Sant Lllorenç there are very pleasant corners that are part of the history of the town.
Sant Llorenç preserves the spirit of a quiet and welcoming rural town. The Sant Llorenç mountains, low in altitude and with a wide range of rural roads, trails and forest tracks, allow you to enjoy this natural space all year round, with changing landscapes depending on the season.
Scattered throughout this territory of mountains near the river, you can find small architectural treasures such as the hermitage of San Jorge, the oratory of Sant Ponç, the hermitage and the bridge of San Antonio near La Muga, the hermitage and the fountain of Palau, the Old Bridge or the Lion Fountain.
