Chapel of Sant Ramon
In a privileged area of Begur, just a few metres from the castle, we find the chapel of Sant Ramon. This small baroque church was built in the early 17th century. The building was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, and in 1951 it was rebuilt thanks to donations from the widow of an "indiano".
The chapel has a very simple structure, rectangular in shape and with a gabled roof. It's dedicated to Sant Ramon Nonat, to whom the redemptive work of the pirates' captives is attributed.
Visit Begur
The "indianos" legacy
Begur is located in the heart of the Costa Brava, next to the Empordà plain. The village is dominated by its castle, which occupies one of the many hills that characterise the municipality's rugged landscape.
This rugged, natural setting is home to some of the most beautiful coves and beaches in this area of the Costa Brava. Visitors can also enjoy the scenery offered by the three coastal paths that link the different beaches and coves of Begur.
The legacy of the "Indians" is one of the main cultural attractions of the town. The inhabitants of the village, who prospered during the 19th century thanks to their business in Cuba, left magnificent architectural traces of their experience in America.
