Town Museum Of Peralada

The Sant Domènec Cultural Tourism Center hosts the town’s Tourist Office and at the same time hosts the Town Museum, an interactive and dynamic space where the figure of the Chronicler Ramon Muntaner, the medieval Peralada and the rich landscapes are diffused, and cultural events in the Empordà that tell the history of Peralada. The Museum exhibits archaeological pieces that appeared in Peralada, such as ceramic pieces, the oldest from the 4th century BC; the Triumphal Key, 1208; the stamp array of Viscount Guillem de Castellnou, from the end of the 13th century; the mancus and the Malagasy gold coins; the painting and the preparatory sketches of a great picture of history, “L’Heroïna de Peralada”, by Antoni Caba i Casamitjana.

Romanesque cloister of Sant Domènec: the town’s past is reflected in its monumental ensemble. One of its most important heritage elements is the Romanesque Cloister of Sant Domènec from the 12th century. This is the only remaining vestige of an Augustinian convent founded in the second half of the 11th century. It is a space of great beauty, which preserves columns and capitals with biblical and profane scenes of great expressive force. It has been recently restored.
