Museu d'Historia Medieval de la Curia-Preso, s.XIV

Reviewed By fionabR7474AU - Las Vegas, United States

We found this little museum by accident. It's a very interesting place if you're into the medieval period. They speak English, and audio guides are included in the very cheap entry price. Apart from a very in depth explanation of the artifacts with an audio guide, they also have a really good short movie detailing the life of a medieval man. The museum itself is housed in the old courthouse and jail complex, so once you've seen the artifacts you go down into the original jail cells where you can see graffiti carved into the walls by medieval prisoners. It was super creepy, but absolutely fascinating, and very good value for money.

Ecomuseu Farinera de Castello d'Empuries

Ours is utterly unique; we have maintained industrial heritage made up of the flour factory machinery from the end of the 19th century, and we have also conserved natural heritage, such as the ‘Rec del Moli', a water channel dating back to the medieval ages. The building, along with the channel, was acquired in 1995 by the Castello d’Empuries Town Hall to convert it into an ecomuseum.
