Lake Banyoles is the largest non-coastal pond, and whose water springs naturally, in Catalonia. The lake is a classic cycling destination in Girona, since one of the province's greenways reaches the town of Banyoles, and it also has a bike lane that allows you to go around the lake.

Lake Banyoles (Estany de Banyoles)

Highlight • Lake

The formation of the lake took place by the collapse of the upper layers of the subsoil, impermeable, inside the cavities that the water formed in the permeable rocks below it.

Església de Santa Maria de Porqueres

Highlight • Religious Site

⛪ Santa Maria de Porqueres – A Romanesque Jewel by Lake Banyoles

Perched on a gentle hill on the eastern shore of Lake Banyoles, the Església de Santa Maria de Porqueres is one of Catalonia's finest examples of 12th-century Romanesque architecture. Consecrated in 1182, this single-nave church features a semicircular apse, barrel vault, and intricately sculpted capitals that depict biblical scenes and symbolic motifs. Its façade is adorned with a striking portal, distinguished by 22 carved medallions and a series of arches, making it a standout among Romanesque churches.

The church's serene setting, surrounded by cypress trees and overlooking the tranquil waters of the lake, offers a peaceful retreat for visitors. Adjacent to the church stands a comunidor, a small open-sided structure historically used by priests to bless the surrounding lands and protect them from storms.

Tip: Easily accessible via cycling routes around Lake Banyoles, this historic site is a perfect stop for those interested in architecture, history, or seeking a moment of reflection amidst nature.

Banyoles Lake Westbank

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

While you can enjoy the urban flair of Banyoles with all its cafes, restaurants and a beautiful promenade on the east bank, it is wonderfully quiet on the other side of the lake. Here you drive directly along the shore of the lake and always have beautiful views of the blue water and the buildings on the other shore.
