Old Town of Anglès Monument · Anglès, Selva, Girona Medieval settlement organised around the former castle of the viscounts of Cabrera, which dominated the crossing of the Ter from the 12th century; under the protection of the fortified precinct, craftsmen and merchants settled, linked to institutions such as the notary's office or to establishments such as the butcher's and the bakery, dependent on the lord of the castle. Outside its precinct there was a bastion where the church now stands. In the 15th century Anglès was a centre of remença resistance, which, together with the damage from several earthquakes, forced the castle to be reformed; by the 16th century the Carrer d'Avall, the Carrer Major and the castle quarter were already formed. In the 13th century the town obtained a market licence, and in the 16th century it was walled, preserving a gateway with a pointed arch. Photo: Enric (CC BY-SA 4.0) What to see and do in Anglès
