Begur Castle
The castle of Begur is built on a hill that strategically dominates the entire municipality and offers excellent views of the coast. The first documentary reference we have dates back to the 11th century. Throughout history, this building has been the protagonist of many of the main armed conflicts that have taken place in the area, leading to its destruction on three occasions.
The remains that we see today correspond to the restoration work that was carried out during the 20th century. Nowadays, we can see the base of the keep, some walls, and the characteristic battlements that were built in the 20th century and that nowadays characterise the silhouette of the castle.
It is an easily accessible castle for visitors. It can be easily reached on foot from the centre of the village. We also have the option of going by car and parking in the specific area that we will find enabled.
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.
