About Besalú Medieval Town
Besalú emerged as the seat of an independent county in the ninth century, ruled by its own counts until absorbed into Barcelona's county in the twelfth century. The town flourished as a market center, crossed by a fortified Romanesque bridge over the Fluvia River. It also supported a Jewish community with a ritual bathhouse built in the twelfth century.
