Castelló d'Empúries

In this text I want to write about my village, Castelló d'Empúries, that`s a very historical village with a urbanization where there are a lot of tourists in the summer.
First, I will talk about the history of my town: Historically, Castelló was the most important village of the north east of Catalonia, but during the times, the village was losing importance against Figueres, that now is the capital of 'l'Alt Empordà'. The most important moment of the history when Castelló lose the great part of his importance were when Castelló dismissed the possibility to have the train, it caused that Figueres was the city of the north east with the best train station.
Second, I would like to explain a little bit the most important buildings of the village. The most important is the 'Basilica de Sta. Maria', that is the second most important church in Girona; another important building is 'El rentador' that is near our High School and was very popular for the people of the village because it was where our families camed to clean the clothes; another building that I want to explain is 'La farinera', a old factory where there worked a lot of people from Castello, it's at the end of 'el rec del molí' and now is converted in a museum.
Finally, I want to talk about the most important urbanization, Empuriabrava. The most popular feature of this zone is that there are a lot of watercourses, and the tourist can travel by them. Another important feature of Empuriabrava is the tower, built at the starting of the project is one of the most popular images for the turism.
