The Montgrí Massif defines the setting of Torroella de Montgrí — its limestone ridge rises above the fertile plain of the Ter River, giving the town a strong inland identity near the Costa Brava. On the summit, Montgrí Castle was begun in 1294 but never completed; its square plan has become an unmistakable landmark of the area. Below, the old centre is organised around narrow streets and the Gothic church of Sant Genís, while the Ter’s lowlands extend towards L’Estartit and the Mediterranean. Torroella also lies beside the Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter Natural Park, a protected mosaic of wetlands, dunes and coastal waters.
