Incredible looking building in a cute little town.

Because of the summer heat, I was up here very early in the morning. It was a great and atmospheric atmosphere. Then I went back down on a beautiful trail.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi0HgiBDuF0The imposing building that we can see today was built in the 15th century on the remains of a medieval castle documented since 1149 and that in the century XIII was owned by Bernat de Creixell. Historians do not agree on whether the monastery of Sant Miquel de Fluvià had the superior lordship. In any case, we know that the Creixells passed by marriage to the Vilaguts and from these to the Rocabertís, already in the 15th century. It was at that time when the first major transformation of the castle took place and when Queen Joana Enríquez, mother of Ferdinand the Catholic, settled there for a while. Since then it has been in the hands of the descendants of Pere de Rocabertí, the Cardona-Rocabertí and then the Sentmenat and the Moxó. Maria Mercè de Sentmenat i de Patiño received the title of Marchioness of Sant Mori in 1893. The castle is located in the middle of the town. It is configured as a large massive block, rectangular in plan, with a central courtyard. The main portal is dovetailed and on the facades there are several bigeminated crown windows, decorated with noble coats of arms, one of which shows the fleurs-de-lis of the Vilagut. Other windows are the result of modern restoration. swIf you want, you can rent it for rooms or weddings... https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/30806789?adults=1&children=0&enable_m3_private_room=true&infants=0&pets=0&check_in=2024-02-29&check_out=2024-03-05&source_impression_id=p3_1704139137_peqk24%2FuplIlvbBN&previous_page_section _name=1000&federated_search_id=8a9627cf-4904-4024- 9e09-702153ebb233

This church, of medieval origin, is part of the most important architectural heritage of the old town of Sant Mori, along with the Sant Mori Castle and other historical buildings. The church is an outstanding testimony of the history and architecture of the area, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the town.

This castle-palace was significantly remodeled in the 16th century on the ruins of an earlier structure. Today, Sant Mori Castle is not only a testament to the region's rich historical past, but also offers a unique holiday experience, with its impressive architectural features such as a charming interior courtyard, three floors full of history, and a garden terrace with pool. In addition, its location allows easy access to cultural and natural attractions in the area, such as the Dalí House Museum and the beaches of the Costa Brava. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rocwax-EevA

Beautiful town that is located in this area of the Empordà and that is a typical small town of this area, with beautiful streets of rural architecture of this area of Catalonia. There is the church and an old castle.

Documented since the year 1170, the Castell d'Albons stood on a hill between the River Ter and the Fluvià, right on the border between the domains of the County of Empúries and those of King Jaume II. The castle is currently divided into private homes, and after the reforms suffered in the last century, its appearance is that of a large fortified manor house. It has a rectangular floor plan with an interior patio (not open to visitors), and borders with the church of Sant Cugat.
