MUSEUM OF MEDIEVAL HISTORY CURIA-PRISON
Old gothic building housing a collection of objects and tombstones from the old cemetery.
Built in 1336, this old Gothic building integrated two key functions of the Middle Ages: the Curia, the court of justice, and the Prison, symbolizing the power of the Counts of Empúries in the town, the capital of the entire county. Facing the small square Jaume I, the facade of the Curia has restored Gothic windows. To the north, the Medieval Prison has a voussoir portal and is probably the only vestige in Catalonia of what was once a 14th-century prison. Inside, curious graffiti made by the prisoners of different periods have been preserved. The museum includes a room dedicated to the remains of the old Jewish community, with a collection of objects and tombstones from the old cemetery. The tour includes an audio-visual presentation of the city's history.
