At 5 Kms from the campsite, there is the beautiful medieval village of Castelló d´Empúries, with the Cathedral of Santa Maria, a Gothic building with Romanesque elements from the 12th and 12th centuries. It is also known as the Cathedral of l´Empordà as a result of its influence during the middle Ages.

Empúries was founded around 575 B.C. by the Greeks of Focea who, for security reasons, first settled on the little island later called Paleopolis, now joined to the mainland and called Sant Martí d’Empúries, and later moved to the mainland to establish Neapolis or New City. This is the site of the ruins. The Greeks called it Em-porium, or market, and it was an important trading post. Empúries was most important as the landing stage, in 218 B.C., of the Roman troops under Scipio. Beside the Greek city, the Romans built a colony, the remains of which still stand. Later, in the 1st century A.D., the colony became a city and saw a period of some splendor.

Inaugurated in 1974, the Dalí Theatre-Museum was built upon the remains of the former Figueres theatre. It contains the broadest range of works spanning the artistic career of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), from his earliest artistic experiences and his creations within the Surrealist movement down to the works of the last years of his life.
