The history of Torrent and its surroundings

Thanks to the archaeological sites of Puig Roig, we know that, already in the Neolithic, there was a human presence in the territory. A list of goods of the abbey of Sant Esteve de Banyoles, is the first written document that mentions Torrent, in 1017. It then appears in purchase and sale documents of the 14th century and its castle appears documented on several occasions as part of the domain of the lords of Crüilles and Peratallada.
