Touring Besalu doesn’t take more than a few hours, as it is pretty small. Logically, you could start your visit at the end of the famous medieval bridge that overlooks the area. Its foundations go back to the Roman times, as does the rest of the town. Besalu was actually a kingdom before Barcelona became the capital of Catalonia, and it was quite wealthy due to its geographical position.
Once you have crossed the bridge, there are various paths that lead to the river from which you can enjoy the bridge in its entire splendor. Take the time, along the way, to observe the many little quirks of the medieval streets and Plaça de la Libertat – that’s the best part.
Located on the Fluvía river.Passing through the towered entrance accesses the county's capital.Bridge of Besalu is believed to have been built in the 11th century on a Roman bridge and rebuilt during the 14th century.After being destroyed during the Civil War it was reconstructed again.
There are two angular sections and in the centre a tower with a small arch.The bridge has eight pointed arches. Access to the town is protected by two towers joined to the wall.These fortifications are used to defend access to the town and to collect tolls.

Besalú Romanesque bridge. Province of Girona. Catalonia
Places to see in ( Besalu - Spain )
Places to see in ( Besalu - Spain )
Besalú is a town in the comarca of Garrotxa, in Girona, Catalonia, Spain. The town's importance was greater in the early Middle Ages, as capital of the county of Besalú, whose territory was roughly the same size as the current comarca of Garrotxa but sometime extended as far as Corbières, Aude, in France. Wilfred the Hairy, credited with the unification of Catalonia, was Count of Besalú. The town was also the birthplace of Raimon Vidal, a medieval troubadour.
Besalú was designated as a historical national property (conjunt històric-artístic) in 1966. The town's most significant feature is its 12th-century Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià river, which features a gateway at its midpoint. The church of Sant Pere was consecrated in 1003. The town features arcaded streets and squares and also a restored mikveh, a ritual Jewish bath dating from the eleventh or twelfth century, as well as the remains of a medieval synagogue, located in the lower town near the river. Besalú also hosts the Museum of miniatures created by jeweler and art collector Lluís Carreras.
The name Besalú is derived from the Latin Bisuldunum, meaning a fort on a mountain between two rivers. It is also the historical capital of the county of “La Garrotxa”. One key date is the year 894, when Besalú was converted to a county with its own dynasty. The county changed from “L’Empordà” to “El Ripollès”. In the year 1111, Besalú lost its independence, for historical reasons in favor of the county of Barcelona. Centuries later, Besalú started a decadent period, worsened by the redemptions, wars with the French and carlists. In 1966, Besalú was declared a site of historical and artistic importance.
The monument is circled by the ancient wall from the c. XII-XIV. Unfortunately only parts of the original walls still exist today. The urban configuration of the site is almost identical to the original layout. Without a doubt, the Medieval Bridge is the emblem of the town, of an angular design with seven uneven arcs and two towers. The part of the town nearest to the bridge there are many narrow streets that belong to the ancient Jewish quarter. It is in this area where you will find the Miqvé, the purification baths, which date from c. XII, and demonstrate the presence of an important Jewish community. The street from the medieval bridge leads to the Town Square “Plaça Major”, a square whose arcades date from c. XVI, and used to be the centre of the medieval town. Important buildings are the Local Government “Ajuntament” dating from c. XVII, the Royal Curia “Cúria Reial”, dating from c. XIV, and the Casa Tallaferro. The street “Tallaferro” leads to the entrance to the Castle precinct. Inside the precinct there remains one of the towers from the ancient County Castle, and the apse of Saint Mary “Santa Maria” that dates from c. XI. Along with the street “Portalet” these are the remains which best retain the medieval appearance, along with panoramic views of the Romanic Bridge. Leading up from the Main Street “Carrer Major”, there are the “Casa Romà” (c. XIV) and the parish church of Saint Vincent “Sant Vicenç” dating from c. XI-XII which has very sculpturesque doors and windows. Near to the Main Town Square, there is the “Prat de Sant Pere”, wide and spacious which used to be the Cemetery of the Benedictine monastery of Saint Peter “Sant Pere”. Today there only remains the three-nave church and one apse, dating from the c. XI. Also there is the small chapel of Saint James “Sant Jaume” (c. XII) and the “Casa Cornellà” (Llaudes) dating from the c. XII and which has a patio with three galleries. Behind the monastery there is the church of the hospital of Saint Julia “Sant Julià”, with one nave and no apse, dating from c. XII, and an outstanding entrance portal.

Trying something new here… a travel video! All of the video was shot on a Samsung S8+ cell phone and edited in FCPX. I did not apply any stabilization in FCPX… only what the cell phone stabilization provided.
This video shows me and a buddy of mine taking a day trip to Besalú and Girona, Spain. I share some history of the two towns, show you some of the sites, talk about how to get there and much more! I tried to add a little humor as well but noticed many areas I would like to add or change things on the next travel video.
Would love to hear your feedback, as I think these could be fun!
Please check out my new web series Video Therapy… it’s helped me get sober and back on track. It’s a talk show style show with memes and humor! Hope you guys like it and always look forward to your feedback!

This locale contains many exquisite monuments, such as its 12 century Romanesque bridge, which features a stunning arch protruding out its midpoint.
The classic stone architecture and stunning sculptures found throughout the town only add to its stark beauty.
