    Tips

    December 13, 2023

    In the Darnius-Boadella swamp, in Alt Empordà, the effects of the 2023 drought are clearly visible.

    Due to this drought, you can once again see La Real Foneria de Sant Sebastià de la Muga, an old weapons factory, built in the mid-18th century and which was under the water.


    Located in the upper valley of the Muga, and built by the army artillery corps in the mid-18th century following a design by the engineer Jean Maritz de la Baroliere, the "Real Fundición de Hierro Colado de San Sebastián de la Muga” was the first blast furnace for the production of cast iron in Catalonia. Destroyed in 1794, during the Wars of the Convention, it is currently under the waters of the Darnius-Boadella swamp, in the district of Sant Llorenç de la Muga, and its remains are visible only in extreme years drought.
