Banyoles, a guided Tour through the Old Town, Catalonia - Spain 4K Travel Channel
Banyoles is always worth a visit. The reason for this is not only the lake, but also because of the wonderful old town from the 14th century and the surroundings. The Catalan city of Banyoles is the capital of the district of Pla de l'Estany in the province of Girona. From here you can reach Girona or the beaches of the Costa Brava in just 25 minutes. Up to the mountains you only need 50 minutes. East of Banyoles is the Nature Park Volcanic Zone of Garrotxa (Parc Natural de la Zona volcanica de la Garrotxa).
Banyoles is the ideal location for holidaymakers who are looking for diversity.
In 711, the Moors conquered the area from the Visigoths and many of the residents were forced to flee. 25 years later the country was reconquered and divided into several counties under the rule of the King of the Franks. The counties became increasingly more powerful and independent, especially Barcelona. In 812, the King of the Franks, Louis the Pious, gave the area, where today's city of Banyoles was founded, to the Benedictines under Abbot Bonitus (Bonito) and granted immunity. In 822, after the experience with the Moors, the Sant Esteve Monastery was built as a fort.
The residents who have fled came back and settled around the monastery. They had to pay taxes and in return they received protection from the nobles and spiritual support by the clergy. In the 9th century they built a church, which was destroyed by an earthquake.
Over the centuries, Banyoles was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, and so today we find a mixture of styles, the products of the different construction periods.
Already the 9th century, the Benedictine monks of the cloister started with the construction of channels to the water supply. Today, the network of channels has a total length of 33 kilometers. A large part has been laid underground in the 20th century.
Banyoles experiences a new boom with the 1992 Olympics. According to a study of the University of Oviedo from 2011, Banyoles is the best city to live in Catalonia. In overall Spain, Banyoles ranks place seven. In this study, aspects such as cost of living, social services, housing, transport, environment, employment, health, culture, leisure, education and security were taken into account.

Banyoles ist nicht nur wegen des Sees, sondern auch wegen der wunderbaren Altstadt aus dem 14. Jahrhundert einen Besuch wert.
Die katalanische Stadt Banyoles ist die Hauptstadt des Kreises Pla de l’Estany in der Provinz Girona. In nur 25 Minuten erreicht man von hier aus in Girona oder die Strände der Costa Brava. Bis zu den Bergen sind es nur 50 Minuten. Östlich von Banyoles liegt der Naturschutzpark Vulkane der Garrotxa (Parc Natural de la Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa).
Banyoles ist der ideale Ausgangspunkt für Urlauber, die die Vielfalt suchen.
Im Jahre 711 eroberten die Mauren das Gebiet von den Westgoten und viele der Bewohner mussten fliehen. 25 Jahre später wurde das Land zurückerobert und in mehrere Grafschaften aufgeteilt, die dem Frankenkönig unterstanden. Diese wurden zunehmend mächtiger und unabhängiger, vor allem Barcelona. Im Jahre 812 überschrieb der Frankenkönig Ludwig der Fromme den Benediktinern unter Abt Bonitus (Bonito) das Gebiet auf dem die heutige Stadt Banyoles steht und gewährte ihnen gleichzeitig Immunität. Nach der Erfahrung mit den Mauren wurde im Jahre 822 das Kloster Sant Esteve de Banyoles wie ein Fort gebaut.
Die geflüchteten Bewohner kamen zurück und siedelten sich um das Kloster an. Sie mussten Steuern zahlen und erhielten im Gegenzug von den Adeligen Schutz und vom Klerus geistlichen Beistand. Im 9ten Jahrhundert erbaute man eine Kirche, die aber durch ein Erdbeben zerstört wurde.
Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte wurde Banyoles mehrfach zerstört und wieder aufgebaut und so findet man heute eine Mischung aus verschiedenen Stilen, die Produkte der verschiedenen Bauzeiten.
Im 9ten Jahrhundert begannen die Benediktinermönche des Klosters bereits mit dem Bau von Kanälen zur Wasserversorgung. Heute ist das Netzwerk von Kanälen 33 Kilometer lang und wurde im 20ten Jahrhundert größtenteils in den Untergrund verlegt.
Seit der Olympiade 1992 erlebt Banyoles eine neue Blüte. Laut einer Studie der Universität von Oviedo aus dem Jahr 2011 ist Banyoles die Stadt in Katalonien, wo man am besten leben kann. Spanien weit rangiert Banyoles an siebenter Stelle. In dieser Studie wurden Aspekte wie Lebenshaltungskosten, soziale Dienste, Wohnen, Verkehr, Umwelt, Arbeitsmarkt, Gesundheit, Kultur, Freizeit, Bildung und Sicherheit berücksichtigt.
