The municipality of Santa Pau, the richest and most varied in volcanic features of the whole La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, has special points of interest such as the Santa Margarida volcano, the Croscat volcano or La Fageda d'en Jordà beech forest. The village has conserved the very interesting old part, with its distinctive look and medieval characteristics. Highlights include Plaça Major or Firal dels Bous: an arcaded main square of undeniable character with an irregular shape and uneven arches that is laid out around the castle, a large, compact and robust building that stands on the village's highest point.
