The Old Bridge of Besalú is one of the most iconic landmarks in La Garrotxa and a striking gateway to this medieval town. Spanning the Fluvià River, this fortified bridge stands out for its angular design and central tower, reflecting its defensive origins and strategic importance throughout history.

Crossing it is more than just reaching the other side—it’s a journey back in time. Each section reveals unique architectural details, from large stone blocks to the fortified gateway, echoing the commercial activity and vitality that once defined medieval Besalú.

More than a connection between two riverbanks, the bridge links landscape and history. From here, the views of the river and the town’s silhouette create a memorable scene that invites visitors to pause and experience one of the best-preserved medieval settings in Catalonia.
