In the first section, the path is simple and wide. <strong>When we turn, we can already see the Empord\u00e0 landscape with the Ter crossing it when the river heads its last section, and the unfinished bell tower of Sant Gen\u00eds church<\/strong>. The Sant Gen\u00eds church majesty shows the importance the town have had centuries ago; the church is sober but with a forceful aspect, leaving all of it as elevated above the houses. Construction began in 1306 on top of an existing one, and it was consecrated three centuries later, in 1609.<\/p>\n<p>With this look at the church from far away we have not stopped talking about the mountain in which we find ourselves, since the stone to raise the temple was extracted from Montgr\u00ed mountain.<\/p>\n<p>Keep walking and soon we realize that we are on a pilgrimage path. A chapel awaits us on the horizon, it is made of stone and has a vaulted ceiling. This little chapel, like its two &#8220;twins&#8221; that we will find a few meters away, were built on the occasion of devotion to Santa Caterina.<\/p>\n<p>They were also used as a refuge by herd herders. From this chapel the path begins to climb more and with pointed and poorly placed stones. Right away we find the second chapel, and we already see the third one right there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The landscapes are beginning to be sensational.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once in front of the Montgr\u00ed castle and through its door, we may be disappointed to see the interior is empty. The castle was simply never completed. The reason for the construction was the conflict between the counts of Emp\u00faries and Barcelona; when the county of Emp\u00faries was annexed to the Crown, the castle lost all utility and the works were suspended.<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, an important rehabilitation was carried out and, among others, a spiral staircase was made and allows you to climb to the top of the castle, strolling between the four cylindrical towers. From up here the panoramic is amazing. The Medes islands, the Roses bay, Cap de Creus, the Empord\u00e0 plain, different surrounding towns, the end of Ter river, the Canig\u00f3 mountain&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":3348,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3312","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CASTELL DEL MONTGR\u00cd - Mas Ferran Pals<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.masferranpals.com\/en\/environment\/castell-del-montgri\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CASTELL DEL MONTGR\u00cd - Mas Ferran Pals\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.masferranpals.com\/en\/environment\/castell-del-montgri\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Mas Ferran Pals\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-04-27T22:08:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"6 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.masferranpals.com\/en\/environment\/castell-del-montgri\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.masferranpals.com\/en\/environment\/castell-del-montgri\/\",\"name\":\"CASTELL DEL MONTGR\u00cd - Mas Ferran Pals\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.masferranpals.com\/fr\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-02-12T12:45:31+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-04-27T22:08:08+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.masferranpals.com\/en\/environment\/castell-del-montgri\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.masferranpals.com\/en\/environment\/castell-del-montgri\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.masferranpals.com\/en\/environment\/castell-del-montgri\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.masferranpals.com\/en\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Surroundings &#8211;
