The history of Sant Pere Pescador and its surroundings

Although it has its origins in Roman times, it is not until the 10th century that Sant Pere Pescador is mentioned for the first time. It does so under the name of Villa Militiano. However, the great influence of the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes causes the town's name to end up deriving from the toponym Sancto Petro to which the determinative Piscatoris is added, probably to differentiate it from the monastery. A couple of centuries later, in the 12th century, the walled area that protects the church, the cemetery and a large part of the town is built.

If you want to know a little about the history of Sant Pere Pescador, you cannot miss the church of Sant Pere, built in the 17th century on the site of the old Romanesque church, the Capella de Sant Sebastià , a popular building from the 17th centuries- XVIII raised to implore Sant Sebastià for help against the epidemics that ravaged the town, and Casa Caramany, residence of one of the most important families in the area.
