"Casa Forestal"

Built in 1910 and supervised the rehabilitation of the coastal dunes and its native vegetation. Located next to the church of Sant Martí d'Empúries, currently hosts the headquarters of the Iberia Graeca Foundation, as a museum. The main facade, with a tower-like body, displays a style that combines elements of a modernist character. The side and rear facade, in restoration, open with rectangular galleries, with stained glass on the upper floor reminiscent of art deco.

The walls of Empúries

The set of walls of the thirteenth century is largely preserved. There are pieces of walls with merlons on the north and west face and some remains in other areas. We also find the ruins of a tower. The portal of the south-west corner stands out particularly. Next to the church are the remains of a circular tower corresponding to the fortified wall dating back to the early Middle Ages.
