Village · Forallac, Baix Empordà, Girona

Peratallada is a hamlet in the municipality of Forallac, in the Baix Empordà, province of Girona, declared a historic-artistic site as one of the best-preserved enclaves of medieval architecture in Spain. Its cobbled streets, arches and towers are arranged around the castle of Peratallada, dating from the 10th and 11th centuries and the earliest documented building in the place. Also preserved are the church of Sant Esteve, from the early 13th century, the Torre de l'Homenatge and the palace of Peratallada, from the 14th century, as well as the moat cut into the rock that surrounds the walls. It was an independent municipality until 1976, when it merged with Fonteta and Vulpellac to form Forallac. It holds the Herb Fair in April, its main festival in August and a medieval market in October.
