The town is placed in the middle of Collsacabra mountains, between the cliffs of Aiats and Garrotxa, 845 meters tall. Rupit still has the medieval beauty that makes it famous: old houses of XVI-XVII, the peculiar and famous suspension bridge of baroque church of Sant Miquel.

As you arrive to Rupit, the first to take your attention is a wall emerging from a high mountain, dominating the town. This rock is the origen of the town, because in latin, "Rupes" is rock, there where the castle was placed.
