Day 310 - 18/07/2014 : Pals, Sant Pere Romanesque church

Pals is dominated by the church Esglesia de Sant Pere, it truly towers over the small picturesque town.

We learned that the Esglesia de Sant Pere originates from the year 944. The church has been changed so many times in the course of the time that it is now an amalgam of roman, Gothic and baroque styles.

We walked our way up and once in front of the church we also saw the higher located former bell tower "Torre des hores" (tower of the hours) which rises into the sky as the only remnant of a castle from the 11 and 12 century.

You spend some time to visit this amazing town whenever you come to Empordà !
