History:
First reference to Sant Pere Pescador dates back to 974AD when it was a possession of the St. Pere de Rodes monastery, forming part of the county of Empúries. The castle of Sant Pere from the 16th century is the most important medieval building of the locality.
With the drying out of the coastal marshy areas during the 17th and 18th centuries, there was a considerable increase in population. The economy has been traditionally based on agriculture and fishing, and in the last several years also on tourism.
