Montgrí, Mountain summit in Costa Brava, Spain.

The Montgrí mountain range stretches along the north bank of the Ter River, reaching an elevation of 311 meters above sea level.

King James II of Aragon commissioned the construction of Montgrí Castle between 1294 and 1301, though the fortress remained incomplete due to interrupted works.

The mountain's silhouette forms the shape of a reclining bishop, with the medieval castle positioned to appear as a ring on the figure's hand.

The mountain paths provide access to numerous caves, including Cau dels Ossos, which contains archaeological remains from the Neolithic period.

Mediterranean fan palms grow naturally on the slopes of Montgrí, marking one of the northernmost locations where these plants exist in the wild.
