Mediaeval Empordà
To get to Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery, you need to take the GIP-641 from Vilajuïga.
This exceptional site is made up of Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery; Sant Salvador de Verdera Castle, built in the 13th century, which can only be got to on foot (25 minutes); the mediaeval village of Santa Creu, and the pre-Romanesque Santa Helena Church.
Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery, from its magnificent location at a height of 520 metres, consists of various buildings of Romanesque origin, which include the 10th-century basilica. The monastery has been carefully restored so that you can get to know its history and that of all the territory. Returning along the GI-610, you can stop in Palau-saverdera to admire Sant Joan Church and finish the route in Roses visiting the 11th-century Romanesque Santa Maria Monastery, inside the very important historic site of the Citadel of Roses, which has an interesting interpretation centre that enables you to find out about the historic development of the place, from prehistoric times through to today.
