CLASSIC CITY


Exactly 100 yers ago, excavation work began the Costa Brava at the Roman site of Empuries. The first Setllement in the area near the present day town of l'Escala was Pacte Polis,founted by Greek Colonists in 575 BCE an biult on an island at the entrance to the River Fluvia.
For over 300 years the Greeks traded ceramics jewellery and spices with the indignous Iberian people,the Indiketes.
In 195 BCE the Romans arrived setteng up their garrison at Empuries just inland from the Greek settlement. A visit to the site today is rewarding experience.There's plenty to see at Empuries,including the ruins of Several basilicas,temples and a gladiatorial amphitheatre and a museum with some fine examples of Roman art. One of our missions to find the remains of an indoor theatre,which we are convinced is buried somewhere.There is so much yet to discover here at Empuries,it could take hundreds more years.
