Viladamat
The municipality of Viladamat is a small town located on the alluvial plain on the right of the Fluvià, near the coast. The territory is rugged rapporteur for the low elevation hills that form the Sierra de Ventalló. This small mountain range separates the valleys of the Fluvià and the Ter.
The highest point of this mountain range is Puig Segalar (179 m above sea level) from where you can see a magnificent view of the Empordà plain and especially the Gulf of Roses.
The situation in the plain near Empúries, the Roman remains existing in the municipality (Roman Villa of the Tolegassos, Roman silo, Roman furnace) and the type of urban structure, with rectilinear streets that form right angles, have made suppose that Viladamat can have a Roman origin.
This urban arrangement can also be motivated by the fact that the population is at an old crossroads, that of Empúries in Besalú, that of Vírgenes in Figueres and what for Albons goes to Torroella de Montgrí.
