The castle complex stands on the hilltop of the 301 m high Montgrí ('grey mountain') in the Montgrí massif. From there you have a wide view over the Alt- and the Baix Empordà with the lowlands of the Ter and the Mediterranean Sea with the Bay of Roses. The castle, which can be seen from afar, is the symbol of the region. Mountain and castle can be found on coats of arms and in logos. The former fortification is located a few hundred meters north of Torroella de Montgrí.
