Castle of Calabuig

Monument · Bàscara, Alt Empordà, Girona

Remains of a medieval castle built into the wall of the church of Sant Feliu, in the hamlet of Calabuig, with visible loopholes from the old fortification. The old castle was destroyed on the order of James I in 1275, and on its site the church of Sant Feliu de Calabuig was built in 1691, a population centre of Bàscara set on a hill next to the right bank of the Fluvià river, from where part of the Alt Empordà can be seen. In the old territory of the village remains of the Priory of Sant Nicolau and of the ruined church of Sant Miquel de Terrades are also preserved. Calabuig was incorporated into the municipality of Bàscara in 1846, together with Orriols.
