Castell de Sant Salvador de Verdera
Sant Salvador Saverdera Castle is a medieval fortress perched atop the highest peak, Sant Salvador Saverdera, in the Rodes mountain range, standing at an elevation of 670 meters above sea level. This fortress displays two distinct architectural phases, the first dating from the 9th to the late 13th century, featuring the original rock castle in its comital and monastic roles. The second phase, starting in the late 13th century, witnessed expansion and fortifications under the Counts of Empúries. The castle likely suffered significant damage during the 1708 raid by the Duke of Noailles, rendering it inoperative for military purposes.
