Discover the Charm of Palauborrell: A Village with History and Unique Character

Explore the rich and diverse soul of Palauborrell, a charming village with a history that dates back centuries. With an environment of five ancient houses and a pre-Romanesque chapel dedicated to Santa Eulàlia, Palauborrell offers an authentic and tranquil experience.

Deep History: Palau Borrell has witnessed the passage of time and hosted possessions of the Sant Miquel de Fluvià monastery since the 12th century. Throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, the Mas del Batlle, near the church, was the residence of the bailiff in charge of the monastery’s assets. The toponym suggests the possible existence of an important, perhaps fortified, farmhouse in this place.

Pre-Romanesque Church: Santa Eulàlia de Palauborrell stands out with its nave topped by a rectangular apse, preserving much of its original pre-Romanesque structure. This small chapel is an architectural gem that transports visitors to bygone eras.

Characterful Farmhouses: Farmhouses like Mas Briolf, dating back to the 16th century, and Mas Verdalet from the 17th century, add even more character to the village. With Roman tiles and reused Roman bipedals as a bond, and architectural elements revealing the antiquity of the place, these farmhouses bear witness to Palauborrell’s rich past.

Medieval Ice Well: South of the church, we find a medieval ice well, reconstructed with splendor in the 17th century. This structure is a reminder of a bygone era, capturing the imagination of visitors with its mysterious presence.
