Volcà de la Crosa, Extinct volcano in Girona Province, Spain

The Crosa volcano features a massive crater with a diameter of 1,250 meters, making it the largest volcanic crater in the Iberian Peninsula.

The volcanic activity occurred between 7.9 and 1.7 million years ago, characterized by multiple eruption phases in the La Selva depression region.

The Sant Llop hermitage, built between the 9th and 10th centuries, sits at the highest point of the volcano at 225 meters above sea level.

The natural protected area contains Mediterranean forest zones, meadows, grasslands, and agricultural lands accessible through walking trails.

The volcano contains two craters, with the larger one formed by an explosive phreatomagmatic eruption when magma mixed with underground water.
