Plaça del Roc (the Gorg)
Highlight • Historical Site
A "gorg" in Catalan refers to a pool or small natural lake, often formed in a river, stream or spring. In the context of the Middle Ages, a "gorg" like Navata would have been an important place for local communities.
During medieval times, gorgs and other natural bodies of water had various uses and meanings. In this case it was essential to provide water for drinking, cooking and washing both people and livestock.
Today transformed into the Plaça de Sant Roc, you can still appreciate its height in the walls that remain.

The facade was started in 1682 and the following year work was already being done on the bell tower. The baroque facade is the work of the 18th century, according to the inscription on the lintel, and was built into the original. a large building, with a nave with side chapels, an apse with a polygonal plan inside, a cross vault with lowered toral arches and a tile roof on two sides.

From the fortification that was carried out in the temple, the small loopholes located between the openings of the semi-circular arch on the upper part of the apse and the side walls are preserved.

Sant Llorenç d'Espinavessa
Highlight • Religious Site
The site of Espinavessa (Spinaversa) is documented from the year 910 although the church of Sant Llorenç is not mentioned until the year 1279. The primitive Romanesque building was replaced by a new temple, built around end of the 18th century, certainly using materials from the previous temple.
It is a temple with a single nave, covered with a barrel vault and lunettes, with side chapels, and topped with a polygonal apse. On the door of the sacristy, inside which is the ossuary of the knight Bernat de Sa Palma, converted into a wash basin, there is the date 1781. Next to the main door of the temple there was a Gothic tombstone of the century XIV.

Can Manosa Ice Well
Highlight • Monument
The Pou de glaç de Can Manosa is an ice well that is small compared to others in the same region. This well measures approximately 6.90 meters in diameter and is estimated to have originally had a depth of around 7 meters. It is believed to have been built in the 18th century, a time when the trade in ice for therapeutic uses and food preservation experienced significant growth.
The exact source of ice production for this well has not been determined with complete certainty. Although the Crespià torrent, the closest watercourse, has a small and very irregular flow, it is speculated that the ice could have been obtained from the Fluvià river, on the Vilert side. Subsequently, the pieces of ice were transported to the well for conservation and subsequent sale at the beginning of spring.
If you are interested in ice wells, I also recommend visiting the Serinyà well or the Palol de Revardit well, which are other notable examples in the region. These pits are representative of an interesting historical practice related to food preservation before the invention of modern refrigeration.

Crespià is a municipality located in the Catalan region of Pla de l'Estany, bordering the regions of La Garrocha and Alto Ampurdán. The population of Crespià in 2022 was approximately 276 inhabitants. In addition to the municipal capital, Crespià includes the towns of Llavanera, Pedrinyà, Pompià and Portell.
This municipality preserves a medieval air with most of its houses built in stone, which gives it great appeal. Among its natural and heritage attractions is the hermitage of San Miguel de la Roca, located on a cliff, and the paleontological site of Incarcal, one of the most important in the Iberian Peninsula. Crespià is also known for its Honey Fair, which dates back to the 19th century when the municipality was an important honey export point, as well as for its walnut plantations.
Historically, in the 19th century, Crespià already had its own town hall and a population of 452 inhabitants. The municipality is described in the "Geographical-statistical-historical dictionary of Spain and its overseas possessions" by Pascual Madoz, highlighting its temperate and healthy climate, its 97 houses, and its parish church dedicated to Santa Eulalia.

Monastery of Santa Maria de Lladó
Highlight • Religious Site
It is a basilica-style temple, oriented to the east, with three naves finished with semicircular apses.
Internally, the system of columns attached to the pillars is adopted to support the four toral arches.
The vault of the central nave is a pointed barrel, higher than the sides, covered with a quarter circle and the apses are covered with a quarter sphere vault. On the outside, the central nave is covered on two sides with Arabic tiles and the sides on a slightly inclined slope.
The west facade is centered by the portal where one of the most remarkable sculptural ensembles of the 12th century is represented.
This facade follows the arrangement of the naves: the central one is higher than the lateral ones, with three bodies in a horizontal direction.
The first with the large portal, the second with an opening and a third, which seems to be an addition to the original structure.
In the nave on the right, a pair of battlements have been incorporated that support the bell tower system. .
On either side of the door are tombstones set into the wall.
The central apse has a double-slit window that is decorated on the outside with a small column on each side.
In the south wall there are three windows, two redone when removing the chapel of Sant Lambert and the 18th century sacristy in a recent restoration.
Santa Maria de Lladó has been documented since 1089 (the place of Lladó has been since 977), the date of the act of restoration of worship and monastic life by the spouses Adalbert and Alamberga, lords of Navata, and their sons who unjustly withheld that holy place, which had previously been rich and strong.
A community could already have existed there in the Visigothic period.
The community was established there under the rule of Sant Agustí.
In 1124, Pope Calixtus II approved the foundation and statutes of the canonry and confirmed its assets.
It is believed that it was during the time of prior Arnau Coll (1136-1196) that the various dependencies of Santa Maria de Lladó were built.
In 1186, this prior was accused in Rome of embezzlement of the community's assets, a fact that must have had as background the aforementioned works, since it seems that from that moment on they will continue with much less luxury (unfinished bell towers on the front, nave capitals without ornamentation).
Between the years 1982 and 1994, several comprehensive restoration campaigns were carried out in the premises and the space was adapted as an exhibition hall."

Sant Feliu Church, 18th century
Highlight • Religious Site
The church of Sant Feliu is located a hundred meters from the old town.
The current temple has a single nave, with side chapels, transept and square head on the outside and polygonal on the inside.
On the facade is the rectangular door made of large well-cut stones and decorated very simply with moldings.
A rose window opens above. The upper contour of the wall is curved.
To the left of the facade stands the square bell tower and has an upper body of eight pointed arcades.
It ends with a terrace.
A much lower square tower is on the other side of the facade, topped by a hipped roof.
The vaults of the nave, the chapels and the capitals are lunettes.
The first documented news dates from the year 1017, although it existed before in the year 1109 Sant Feliu was given to the priory of Santa Maria.
The building that can be seen was built by Prior Domàs Verdaguer.
In the 18th century. We know from an engraved stone that the new church was begun in 1758. The inscription reads "INCEPTUM SECTO KALEN, APRIL MDCCLVIII". LANY 1761.
The works should have already finished because this date is inscribed on the facade flanking the door.
