One of Catalonia's prettiest and most visited inland towns. Bisuldunum was a fortress between two rivers: the Fluvià and the Capellades. It became important as an independent County Capital after the death of Guifré el Pilòs ( 902) ; upon the death without descendents of Bernat II it became part of the House of Barcelona. It has a population of 2,000 inhabitants, but given its great historical importance, it continues to be called County Town. In 1966 it was declared a "National Hitorical and Artistic Monument" due to its great architectural value. The whole town is an example of romanesque art where the following monuments are worth noting:

PONT FORTIFICAT: XIth Romanesque bridge, angular in construction, 105 metres long and seven arches.

JEWISH BATHS - MIQWÉ: Purification baths, unique of its kind in Spain and third to be discovered in Europe. Located in the jewish quarter.

MONESTIR DE SANT PERE: XIth C. with ambulatory (XIIth C.) and Roman capitals. Interesting sculputural monument with lions on the façade. Abbatial epoch tombs from the XVIth, XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries and a barroque belfry. The reconstruction of the ambulatory belongs to 1160.

ESGLÉSIA DE SANT VICENÇ: Founded in 977. It is made up of diverse styles, although the overall structure is romanesque. Gothic side chapel dedicated to Vera Creu and XVth century gothic tomb. Gothic Saint Raphael side door.

CASA CORNELLÀ: End of XIIth C. romanesque-civil building.

PLAÇA DE LA LLIBERTAT: XVIth C. vaulted square.

CÚRIA REIAL: XIVth C. Palace of Justice and Royal Court.

HOSPITAL DE SANT JULIÀ: XIIth C. exterior façade.

This list is just a guideline, because the rest is a unique example of living history: the collegiate church of St. Mary. The wall of Charles III. The churches of St. Martin and St. James. The Mint. The market in Tallaferro street and a whole array of mansions, streets and small squares that are reliable proof of the foremost importance of the County of Besalu, round about the first millennium of our Catalonia. Lately archeological work has been done on the threshing-floor of the Xiua and the Devesa, which have revealed remains that clearly demonstrate the historical importance of Besalu.
