360º panoramic views traveling through our historical and cultural heritage.
The Massif is like an island of limestone between the plains of the Alt and Baix Empordà, known locally as the "dead bishop" for the shape of its silhouette seen from north and south.
Crowned by the medieval castle (13th century), Montgrí has been home to Palaeolithics (Eagle-owl Lairs), Iberians and Romans, and has an extensive dry stone architectural heritage.
Such treasure include the Santa Caterina Chapel and the remains of dry stone architecture such as shelters (closing walls), refuges, huts, limestone ovens, fountains, wells, cisterns, stone water holes, animal pens and vineyard cabins.
The garrigue and aleppo pines cover the largest area of the Massif, while the continental dune with its moss and pine trees is also noteworthy, something rarely seen in the Mediterranean.
