Peratellada, Pals and Besalú are three towns in the Garrotxa region, located at 150 metre above sea level, Bisuldunum, as its origins suggest, was a fortress between two rivers: the Fluvià in the south and the Capellades in the north.

Besalú began to gain importance as the capital of an independent county following the death of Guifré el Pilós (902); it lost this status with the death of Bernat III- son-in-law of Ramon Berenguer III- leaving no survivors. As a result, Besalú became part of Barcelona.

In 1966, it was declared a "National Historic-Artistic Ensemble" due to its high architectural value.
