Curiosities of Torroella de Montgrí

Torroella de Montgrí is one of those Empordà villages with an overwhelming personality, blending medieval history, classical music and untamed nature into one unforgettable destination.

• Montgrí Castle: An empty “shell” It’s the village’s most iconic landmark — and it hides a surprise. Though it looks like a mighty fortress, it was never completed. Construction began in 1294 under James II to keep watch over the counts of Empúries, but it stopped in 1301. Inside, there are no halls or ceilings — just sturdy walls and four imposing towers. Climb to the top and claim some of the best views in the Empordà.

• The “Dead Bishop” Look closely at the Montgrí mountain range and you’ll spot its curious silhouette. Locals call it “El Bisbe Mort” — the Dead Bishop — because the outline resembles a bishop lying on his back, hands folded over his chest, mitre resting on his head.

• Land of Giants Torroella proudly preserves one of Catalonia’s oldest giant traditions. The most celebrated figures — the White King and the Queen of the Golden Hair — date back to 1608. Watch them dance through the narrow streets during the Fiesta Mayor of San Genís and feel history come alive before your eyes.

• A world-class festival Small in size, global in reputation. Since 1981, the Torroella de Montgrí Music Festival has welcomed world-class performers every summer, transforming the Church of Sant Genís and the local auditorium into true temples of culture.

• The submerged paradise: The Medes Islands Often associated with L’Estartit, these seven islands belong to the municipality of Torroella and form one of the western Mediterranean’s most important marine reserves. Once a pirate hideout, today they are a diver’s paradise bursting with life.

• The Museum of the Mediterranean Step inside the majestic Can Quintana estate and discover an interactive space that goes far beyond traditional display cases. Explore how human culture has shaped the Mediterranean landscape, guided by the Montgrí massif and the Ter River as your narrative thread.
