Vilafortuny: History, Route and Beaches in the Surrounding Area

Vilafortuny reveals its history not only in a single building, but in its chapel, castle and route; the surrounding area also offers museums and beaches.

Culture

The Església de Santa Maria del Mas d'en Bosch was approved in 1575, after the former Romanesque building on the coast had been abandoned because of numerous attacks by Barbary pirates in the 16th century. The Església de Santa Maria del Mas d'en Bosch is a single-nave chapel with a semicircular apse. Castell de Vilafortuny is regarded as a symbol of the history and past of the place; the first written documents in which it is mentioned date from the 12th century. Castell de Vilafortuny is currently used for celebrations of various kinds.

This creates a thematic connection between the history of sacred architecture, written records and the present-day use of a historic site.
