La Bisbal d'Empordà, County seat in Baix Empordà, Spain.

Located 29 kilometers southeast of Girona, La Bisbal d'Empordà extends along both sides of the Daró river near the northern edge of Gavarres mountains.

The settlement traces its origins to a Roman site called Fontanetum, with the current town establishing itself around the church of Santa Maria, consecrated in 901.

The municipality maintains its position as a primary pottery center in Catalonia, with numerous workshops and industrial chimneys marking the urban landscape.

Visitors can explore ceramic shops, artisan markets, and traditional workshops throughout the town, which connects to major coastal destinations via road C-66.

The local castle features Romanesque architecture and served as an episcopal palace, reflecting the town's historical connection to the bishops of Girona.
