The history of Gualta and its surroundings

Although, as indicated by the archaeological site of Font Pascuala, the area of Gualta had already been inhabited in the time of the Iberians, the town's history dates back to the Middle Ages. It appears mentioned for the first time in 1046, when the knight Ermengol Bernat de Fornells bequeathed the lands of the parish of Santa Maria d'Aqualta to the canons of the cathedral of Girona. In the 17th century, the counts of Peralada built the mill to bring water from the Ter to the Daró and, already in the seventies of the last century, a new canal was built to prevent flooding in the cultivated fields.
