The history of Lladó and its surroundings

Visit its architectural heritage

If you spend a few days in Lladó, you cannot miss the canonry and the monastic enclosure of Santa Maria de Lledó , which began to be built in the 12th century. The church of Sant Feliu de Lladó and the small hermitage of the apostles, located on a small hill in the middle of the forest, are also worth a visit. It is also worth approaching the viewpoint of the hermitage of Sant Jaume and Sant Felip, from where you will have fantastic views of the Empordà plain. It is also highly recommended to stroll through the old town of Lladó, a monumental complex included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia.
