Sights of Castelló d'Empúries
“Cortal” in Catalan is a term describing a farming estate that includes a farming house, cattle paddocks, stables, and surrounding lands. Cortal d’Avinyó is located within the natural park and conservatory of Aiguamolls de l’Empordà. It is unclear whether the current owners concern themselves with cattle farming to the same extent as before. Today, the farm mostly advertises hosting private events like weddings, parties and dinners (phone number: 621 217 644).
The first mention of Cortal d’Avinyó dates back to the 1744 archives that recorded the deed of ownership of the farm. The cortal was built in several stages, the last of which contributed to the inclusion of Cortal d’Avinyó on the list of cultural heritage objects. In 1906, Josep Azemar i Pont, an architect from Figueres who also designed Casa Puig Soler, constructed the farmhouse in the style of Art Nouveau, complete with garitas and a tower.
