    Medieval archaeological site that belongs to the municipality of Torroella de Montgrí, made up of a small Romanesque temple in ruins and the remains of a small town, which would have its origin in Roman times (2nd century BC).

    The remains of the church indicate that it was a temple with a single nave, rectangular in plan, without a prominent portal. It is considered that the church dates from the 13th century and would be framed in the late Romanesque or primitive Gothic, since its architecture maintains the essential elements of the advanced Romanesque present in the region, such as a pointed vault or double spill windows.

    As for the Roman villa, ceramic remains have been found, and the villa itself would have been of considerable size, being very close to the Empúries road, an ancient Roman road that crossed the Montgrí massif.
