Sant Pere de Besalú and the Besalú Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

The monastery of Sant Pere was founded in 977 by Bishop-Count Miró I and consecrated in 1003 by Count Bernhard I, also known as Taillefer. A Benedictine community of twelve monks lived there. However, with Count Taillefer's death in 1020, the decline of the count's rule began, culminating in its final demise in 1111. From then on, the abbot of the monastery became the highest authority over the population, which gave the Church considerable political influence in the 12th and 13th centuries.

El Sagrat Cor de Puig Cornador

Highlight • Religious Site

Impressive views from this place, this modest mountain and the sanctuary of Sant Ferriol are places very loved by the people of the region but they are not too well known by e-bikers, who normally seek to visit more popular and well-known places.

Historic Center of Besalú

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

A striking bridge was built in the 14th century and has been destroyed several times. A castle towers over the town, the entire town center being a protected monument. The population lived separately, with the Christian side on one side and the Jewish population on the right. Besalú has the only surviving mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath for women, on the Iberian Peninsula. The town is characterized by narrow streets and low stone houses, cafés, and souvenir shops.

Pont Vell of Besalú

Highlight • Bridge

Among all the architectural jewels of Besalú, its impressive Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià river stands out. It has seven arches and a fortified access portal. Undoubtedly, an architectural work that seems to be taken from a story.

Besalù

Highlight • Historical Site

Besalù is probably the best example of Catalan medieval architecture. Access to the city passes through a door located on the spectacular 12th-century stone bridge that crosses the Fluvià river.
