L’Armentera Mill

It was the most important mill in the county of Empúries. Boats would arrive there as the Fluvià River was navigable until the first third of the 19th century.

Today it is an isolated building, next to a canal from which it received water when it was in operation as a mill. The current building dates back to the 18th century. It is a large house with a ground floor and two upper floors and it has a four-sided, very steep roof. The ground floor is the old gully, where the water that powered the blades of the mill entered through some arches. The façade of the mill is plastered except for the corners, where we see a section of ashlar masonry work, and the windows and doors of the building.

Noteworthy is a stone bridge located 50 metres in front of the old gully, which was used to cross from one side of the canal to the other.

It is currently used as tourist accommodation.
