There are two ways up: the shorter one that is a bit more steep (15min to the castle) or the longer one that is a nice stroll on a wide path (aprox 30min walk), perfect for a family day excursion. ![]() The parking has sufficient space for many cars and it is located just about 3Km away from the castle. Visit Besalú, you will love it.Įxcellent visit to enjoy a medival castle and the natural park! Our guide proved to be very educated and sensitive to the history, and made the private tour part of the wonderful experience. The Mikvah is locked and requires purchasing a guided tour ticket, which costs less than 2 euros. ![]() The Synagogue remains, the classroom for the young boys, the upper level for the women, the room for Torah study, and the assembly area, are all exposed and free to visit, with plenty of places to sit and read your siddur and remember. It is emotional if we are strong enough to imagine the moment things got worse, when the Jews of Besalú were forced to leave everything and move to Girona, a city which they hoped would provide some safety, even if only for a short while. The site of the Jewish Synagogue of Besalú is emotional and moving for anyone who can imagine the daily life of the Jews of Besalú, the interactions, social integration and religious separation out of piety - a piety that Chrstians would have done well to emulate - with everyone in the community. ![]()
