Besalú is one of the most beautiful and visited villages in Catalonia, it is located in the province of Girona, in the region of La Garrotxa, about 30km from the city of Girona and about 130 km from the Catalan capital, Barcelona. It preserves a magnificent medieval layout with beautiful monuments. It has been the scene of series, books and films, the oldest remains found so far date from 600 BC The monumental importance of Besalú is given mainly by its great value as a whole, which determines it as one of the most important and unique samples of the medieval ensembles of Catalonia. The Jews inhabited the neighborhood next to the Fluvià River for more than 500 years and today their memory lives on in the rich cultural heritage they left in it, as remains of their synagogue and the most interesting and well preserved the micvé, the Jewish purification bath. The one in Besalú is one of the few of the twelfth century that are preserved, which makes it a true heritage treasure since it is the space where the Jews bathed to purify themselves, as Judaism commands. After being abandoned since the fifteenth century, its rediscovery did not occur until the year 64 when doing works and earthworks, in the building that we are currently marketing and that we have for sale. In 2013, the whole of the synagogue of Besalú was declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest in the category of archaeological zone by the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
