The
County of Besalú (, ; ) was one of the landlocked
medieval Catalan counties near the
Mediterranean coastline. It was roughly coterminous with the modern
comarca of
Garrotxa and at various times extended as far north as
Corbières, Aude, now in France. Its capital was the village of
Besalú. Throughout most of its history it was attached to one of the other more powerful counties, but it experienced a century of independence before it was finally and irrevocably annexed to the
County of Barcelona.
