Town of Ullastret

Monument · Ullastret, Baix Empordà, Girona

The Vila d'Ullastret is the original centre of the municipality of Ullastret (Baix Empordà), situated on a small rise next to the ancient Iberian city of the same name. It retains a good part of the 14th-century walls, with nine square towers and one circular one, and at its centre stands the church of Sant Pere, Romanesque from the 11th century, with three naves and apses with Lombard blind arcading, remodelled between the 16th and 18th centuries. In front of it lies an esplanade thought to correspond to the old castle, of which no trace remains. Outside the walls stands out the Llotja, a Gothic covered square of the 14th-15th centuries with a timber roof over two large pointed arches, and the houses retain carved Gothic doorways.
