The ruins of Navata Castle are two kilometers southwest of the village. The best-preserved canvas is the western canvas, which is added to the cylindrical tower at the southwest corner. Pebbles are cut off and tend to form rows in a row. In addition, the rectangular loopholes stand out and, at the top, some remains of battlements. The rectangular chapel is located at the base of a corner tower of the wall. It is in a dilapidated state, but some of the architectural elements remain standing. In 1190, King Alfonso gave the town of Peralada to Bernat de Navata and his wife. In 1249 Ermessenda, daughter of Arnau de Navata, married Dalmau Rocabertí. Thus the barony of Navata passed into the hands of the viscount’s family. In 1968 Navata, still in the possession of the Rocabertís, was head of a mayoralty that included Ordins, Espinavessa and La Palma.
