The population of Castelló d’Empúries and
Empuriabrava, separated by a distance of
six kilometres, make up the municipality of
Castelló d’Empúries i Empuriabrava. The
first mention of this village dates back to
879 although it was not until 1064 that the
Counts of Ampurias moved to this villa and
made it the capital of the county for a pe-
riod of more than four centuries.
The city is currently divided into three diffe-
rent districts: Villa Condal, Parque Natural
de Aiguamolls de l’Empordà, and Empuria-
brava, situated in the Gulf of Rosas, just 25
km from the French border and 2 km, from
Castelló de Empuries.
The medieval ages are still alive in Villa
Condal, a district with narrow streets and
squares, the Basilica of Santa María, seve-
C o m m u n i t i e s
