The medieval origins of Navata (14th-15th century)
The urban center of Navata was born around the Old Hospital which was founded near a very busy medieval road, the one that went from Figueres to Besalú. The institution, which was also known as the hospital for the poor, was already in operation in 1283. The first homes and small industries were established around it very soon. In fact, this first urban grouping was called "Villa Hospitalis", the Villa de l'Hospital. From the 15th century onwards, the town council governed by juries, i.e. the town hall of the time, has been documented.
