Ullastret and its surroundings

Ullastret is located on a gentle elevation in the middle of an imaginary line that connects La Bisbal and Torroella, on the right bank of the river Daro. It was built with a medieval ramparts structure, well preserved, surrounding a core of narrow streets. In front of the northern part of the wall remains a market square and Gothic wooden roof beams supported by two arches. The Romanesque church of Sant Pere d’Ullastret from the year 899 and a basilica with three naves and three apses, is X-XI centuries.

Up another hill close within two kilometers called St. Andrew there is the fortified settlement of Ullastret, a major Iberian site of seventh century BC. Ullastret was one of the most important Iberian settlements in Catalonia and the Iberians constructed a large space walled and established their own culture vestiges of which can be seen in Ullastret Archaeological Museum, in the Iberian settlement.

Ullastret has a spectacular view of the Montgrí and the Empordà plain and you are a few minutes drive from Monells, Begur, Pals, Peratallada, La Bisbal and Torroella and not far from places as interesting as Cadaqués, Figueres and Girona or Púbol. And you are in a natural setting, near the Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park, the plains of the Empordà and the Gavarres hills, with all the options of nature, hiking and mountain biking you can imagine.
