Olot, Volcanic city in Garrotxa, Spain
The capital of La Garrotxa stands at 443 meters elevation, surrounded by four volcanoes and intersected by the Fluvià and Riudaura rivers.
First documented in 1206, Olot underwent reconstruction after devastating earthquakes in 1427 and 1428 that destroyed most of the medieval structures.
The Museu de la Garrotxa exhibits regional art collections, focusing on paintings and sculptures from the 18th through 20th centuries.
The Parc Nou botanical garden displays local flora species and provides educational programs about the volcanic landscape of the region.
Four distinct volcanoes - Montolivet, Montsacopa, Garrinada, and Bisaroques - exist within the municipal boundaries, forming a natural volcanic park.
