The ancient city of Empuries is located near the small village of Sant Martí d’Empúries. The first Greek settlers chose this place to build their settlement here as early as the 1st century BC, in the 3rd century the Romans built their own city behind a fortified wall just above the Greek settlement. Due to its excellent strategic position, the port city on the sea existed until the 16th century. Today, there is an open-air archaeological museum.
