1. Pont Fortificat
The town's most emblematic feature is this Romanesque 11th-century fortified bridge with crenellated battlements spanning the Riu Fluvià.
Carrer del Pont, Besalú, Catalonia, 17850, Spain -
2. Església de Sant Pere
This 12th-century Romanesque church is part of a 10th-century monastery, still in an excellent state of preservation. It's set on the town's main plaza, Sant Pere, with many cafés and terraces.
Pl. de Sant Pere s/n, Besalú, Catalonia, 17850, Spain -
3. Església de Sant Vicenç
Founded in 977, this pre-Romanesque gem contains the relics of St. Vincent as well as the tomb of its benefactor, Pere de Rovira. La Capella de la Veracreu (Chapel of the True Cross) displays a reproduction of an alleged fragment of the True Cross brought from Rome by Bernat Tallafer in 977 and stolen in 1899.
Pl. Sant Vicenç s/n, Besalú, Catalonia, 17850, Spain -
4. Jewish Ritual Bath
The remains of this 13th-century mikvah, or Jewish ritual bath, were discovered in the 1960s; it's one of the few surviving in Spain. A stone stairway leads down into the chamber where the water was drawn from the river, but little else indicates the role that the baths played in the medieval Jewish community. Access is by guided tour only (organized through the tourist office).
