Peralada is a town with a rich history that dates back to Roman times. Before the construction of the castle, the site was an important monastic center.

The Peralada region is known for its production of high quality wines. Viticulture is an important part of the local economy, and the town is surrounded by vineyards.

In addition to the castle, Peralada has the Church of Sant Martí, a parish church that features interesting architecture and a history dating back to the Middle Ages.

Peralada is famous for its Castell de Peralada International Music Festival, held in the castle gardens during the summer months. It is a prominent event in the region's cultural calendar and attracts internationally renowned artists.

The town of Peralada and its surroundings offer a rich Catalan gastronomy, with restaurants serving traditional dishes and local products, including the region's wines.

In addition to the castle, Peralada has other historic buildings and cultural attractions that visitors can explore.

Keep in mind that Peralada is mainly known for its castle and music festival, so much of the tourist attention is focused on these aspects. However, the town and its surroundings have much more to offer in terms of history, culture, gastronomy and natural beauty.
