Comtat d’Empúries was a county of West Francia ruled by Count Hugh I and descendants as vassals of Barcelona 989-1325. Several counts minted billon diners and obols 1040-1325.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Sant Marti d’Empúries is a charming village a short walk from the Ruins d’Empúries that maintains its medieval structures and walls. It has a couple of nice restaurants in the old square and is well worth exploring.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1337003[/ATTACH] </p><p><u><a href="https://www.alamy.com/aerial-view-of-sant-marti-dempuries-near-lescala-in-catalonia-spain-image263236730.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.alamy.com/aerial-view-of-sant-marti-dempuries-near-lescala-in-catalonia-spain-image263236730.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.alamy.com/aerial-view-of-sant-marti-dempuries-near-lescala-in-catalonia-spain-image263236730.html</a></u></p><p>View of Sant Marti d’Empúries with archaeologic site in background[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
