About Peratallada
Its name is derived frompedra tallada, meaning 'carved stone'. Declared a historic-artistic monument, most of the buildings are built from stone carved from the fosse or moat which still encircles parts of this small fortified medieval town. The privately owned Castle of Peratallada is the dominant structure in the center of the town, with a 13th-century Romanesque church dedicated to Sant Esteve outside the town walls. The castle has been documented as early as 1065 AD, and it was restored as a luxury hotel in the 1960s. Today, Peratallada is known for its beautiful old stone buildings, rutted stone streets and passageways. Its proximity to the beaches of theCosta Bravaand its numerous restaurants, small boutique hotels and artists' galleries make it a popular destination.
