Guide to La Bisbal d'Emporda
La Bisbal d’Emporda is the chief town of the Baix Emporda region; it is a busy market town serving the whole comarca. For centuries it has been a pottery manufacturing town and still boasts a school of pottery and numerous workshops.
It was formerly a domain of the bishops of Girona (hence its name, the Catalan word for the bishops is bisbe), and the most outstanding building is the former bishops’ castle-palace which has Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance features.
