Santa Maria de Gràcia
Santa Maria de Gràcia was a convent, now defunct, founded in 1606 located in the municipality of l'Escala, inside what they are today the runes of Empúries.
It was exclaustrated in 1835 until the Board of Museums was in charge of the remodeling as the headquarters of the Museum of Empúries.
But it was not until the beginning of the 20th century when the excavations and remodeling of the convent began under the direction of Josep Puig i Cadafalch, when the need arose to create a space to store the pieces and later be able to display them.
Visit L'Escala
Gastronomy and tradition

The name of l'Escala is known in many corners of the world thanks to the excellence of one of its main industries, the anchovies salting. During your stay, you can visit one of its factories to observe the traditional process of making this product, as well as the anchovy and salt museum.
As well as enjoying beaches and coves such as Cala Montgó, Riells beach or Illa Mateua cove, in l'Escala you can also discover the gateway to the Iberian Peninsula of the Greek and Roman cultures by visiting the Archaeological Site of Empúries.
A few metres from the site is the medieval village of Sant Martí d'Empúries, another highly recommended visit during your stay in l'Escala.
