Fitor

Village · Forallac, Baix Empordà, Girona

Fitor is a rural hamlet in the municipality of Forallac, in the Baix Empordà (Girona), located deep in the Gavarres mountains, on a wooded peninsula with an average altitude of about 200 metres. It was divided into seven vilelas, neighbourhoods of medieval origin, and belonged to the marquis of Castell de Torrent until the abolition of the seigneurial regime in the early 19th century; it then came under Fonteta, which merged with Peratallada and Vulpellac to form the present-day municipality of Forallac. Its scattered settlements were eventually abandoned owing to the poor profitability of forestry. It preserves its Romanesque church of Santa Coloma, of singular architecture, surrounded by cork-oak woodland.
