What to see and do in Agullana

Agullana
Village
Agullana is a municipality of the Alt Empordà, at the north-eastern end of the province of Girona, in the westernmost part of the sierra de l'Albera, next to the border with France. The village stands at 166 metres, at the confluence of the Guilla river with the Gou stream, and has 880 inhabitants (INE 2025). The territory was already inhabited in prehistoric times, with dolmens and menhirs such as those of the Can Bech de Baix necropolis, from the 9th-7th centuries BC; the first documentary mention dates from 1019. In the mid-18th century the cork industry developed, eventually reaching forty factories and leaving several Modernist buildings and the Romanesque church of Santa María. Surrounded by cork-oak woods and centuries-old chestnut trees, it celebrates the Castanyada as its main festival.
Church of Santa Maria d'Agullana
Monument
Romanesque church from the 12th-13th centuries documented since 1019, with the remains of the old baronial castle standing alongside it, formerly under the control of the bishopric of Gerona; it was declared a Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional (Catalonia's highest level of heritage protection) in 1984. It preserves a single nave with a pointed vault, a false transept and a semicircular apse decorated with a frieze of arcading finished in a sawtooth pattern, a motif repeated in the windows. The only door, on the south wall, is formed by six receding arches with reliefs and columns with plant-motif capitals, and the temple is topped by a wide two-storey cadireta bell tower. The five current bells, cast at the Barberí workshops in Olot, were installed between 1952 and 1968; the last, named Maria del Pilar, was donated by a private individual.
