Empúries is one of the privileged settings of our history as it is considered the gateway to Greek and Roman culture in the Iberian Peninsula.

Empúries is a privileged place to understand the evolution of Greek urbanism implanted in the western end of the Mediterranean, as well as to analyze Roman urbanism in the final period of the Republic and its subsequent transformation during the imperial era.
