A "gorg" in Catalan refers to a pool or small natural lake, often formed in a river, stream or spring. In the context of the Middle Ages, a "gorg" like Navata would have been an important place for local communities.
During medieval times, gorgs and other natural bodies of water had various uses and meanings. In this case it was essential to provide water for drinking, cooking and washing both people and livestock.
Today transformed into the Plaça de Sant Roc, you can still appreciate its height in the walls that remain.
