Carmelite Convent

Highlight • Religious Site

The origin of this convent of Carmelite friars surely dates back to a church dating from the end of the 13th century that was located outside the city center of Perelada. It consists of a church and a cloister and currently houses the Museu del Castell (de Peralada).

This museum houses several private collections: the library, with more than 100,000 books, the cloister, which houses the lapidary collection, the glass collection, with more than 2,500 pieces, and the wine museum, with a wide collection of objects related to the local viticulture. Of its church, its roof with a polychrome wooden framework stands out, discovered during a 19th century restoration when clearing a false vault.

Church of St. Eulalia, Villanova de la Muga

Highlight • Religious Site

There is reference to the existence of this church as early as 1019. It has a basilica plan, an elongated main nave and two lower lateral ones with rows of columns between them, and it is mostly known for the paintings found in the apse, a Pantocrator inside of the mystical almond, surrounded by the Tetramorphs and two seraphim angels. The paintings were restored in the mid-20th century and again in the early 21st century.

The sacristy was modified between the 16th and 17th centuries, and experts affirm that the church itself was built in different stages. In the 11th century, the side naves were added, while the central nave was restored, probably due to a collapse. straddling the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It is at this time that the painting of the Pantocrator in the apse was probably added.

Located within the current urban center of the town of Peralada, but outside the walled enclosure of the medieval town, on the east side. The whole complex is surrounded by a large garden and, through a bridge built in the 19th century, it communicates with the grounds of the Carmel convent.

Castle Gate of Peralada

Highlight • Castle

On the way to the castle you drive under the stone arch. This must have been a gate in the past.

April 6, 2025,Katalonien_ES - CP Salata-Auf dem Pirinexus zum Castell de Peralada

A short bike tour on the Pirineus via Empuriabrava, the Venice of Catalonia. Afterwards, we continued along the La Muga to Perlada, a beautiful little village with a monastery, castle, impressive vineyard, and many narrow streets. We returned via Vilaiguiga, first on small provincial roads, and then on the Pirineus to Roses through olive and vineyard plantations.
