Besalú's own Romanesque bridge, the Pont Vell, dates from the 11th century (renovated in the 14th, and rebuilt again in the 20th after later damage), and its zigzag layout with a fortified gateway tower at the midpoint was deliberately designed to slow down an approaching army rather than offer an easy crossing. The town was powerful enough, in its own time, to run itself entirely: from the year 894 it served as the seat of its own independent county, the Comtat de Besalú, ruling the wider La Garrotxa region until it lost its independence to the County of Barcelona in 1111.
Besalú's real Jewish history is more layered than it first appears, and worth getting precisely right. In 1964, a resident digging a well broke through into an underground chamber and found a 36-step stone staircase leading down to a vaulted, naturally lit room — a genuine medieval mikveh, a Jewish ritual bath, most likely built in the 12th or 13th century. It's one of only four medieval mikvaot preserved anywhere in Europe, and the only Romanesque example in all of Spain. The synagogue it once served stood nearby, on what's now called the Plaça dels Jueus (Jews' Square), but its own foundations weren't excavated until 2005 — so while the ritual bath itself survives intact and open to visitors, the synagogue today exists only as a protected archaeological site, not a building you can walk inside.
