Beautiful center of an amazing historic gem. This village is amazingly preserved and gorgeous. It’s like stepping back in time! Well preserved medieval town which you can stopover on the way to Costa Brava from Girona. Plaça Jaume I in Monells is the central of a small medieval village in Catalonia’s Baix Empordà region, Girona province. Known for its timeless charm, the is surrounded by stone houses with beautiful arches and arcades, creating a picturesque setting that reflects the village’s 12th-century origins. It was historically a market square, and in 1234, King Jaume I established the town’s official grain measure there (where you can still see measurement stone on the square), giving the plaza its name and regional importance. The architecture features irregular layouts with porched walkways, stone columns, and barrel vaults, evoking a strong medieval atmosphere. The has been carefully preserved and restored, maintaining its rustic charm with cobbled streets, ivy-covered facades, and soft golden tones. Today, Plaça Jaume I is peaceful and welcoming, home to restaurants where visitors can enjoy traditional Catalan food while taking in the views. Though quiet, it hosts local festivals and occasional markets, staying true to its roots. It has also become a filming location, most famously in the Spanish film "Ocho apellidos catalanes," thanks to its unspoiled authenticity. Monells, though small, offers a rich historic and aesthetic experience, and Plaça Jaume I is its heart—ideal for walking, relaxing, and absorbing the atmosphere of rural Catalonia. It is a beautiful little medieval village very well protected from the touristic crowds and is a must go if you’re travelling around Girona or Costa Brava. You can take some time and walk through the streets and admire the houses and the in the area. We loved it! Convenient location. Good food but maybe a little pricey for the value. I appreciate their service to the community. Lovely arcaded main with pretty pedestrian access at each corner. Well maintained buildings with a very authentic feel. Very pleasant cafés and restaurants under the arches for cool summer refreshment. Actually amazing place. As medieval as it gets, 11th century church, beautiful lanes and buildings. Life as it was hundreds of years ago. Limited shops @suggestionsonpostcards for tour videos and photos We reached there around 5 in the evening and everything was closed, and literally to people. Though we took some good photos with no unknown people photo bumping but I also wanted to have a coffee there.
