The Archaeological Museum of Banyoles, located in the Gothic palace Pia Almoina, from fifteenth century, shows the great archaeological and historical findings that have been obtained in recent years under Banyoles area. Thus we find the remains of a hominid jaw with several thousand years, the fanged feline's skull Incarcal (1.3 million years), tools extracted from the nearby Neolithic village of Draga, the caves of Serinyà ... Undoubtedly a museum, recently renovated, with a great collection.

Vilauba Roman Villa is located just over 1 kilometer south of Lake Banyoles, in the village of Camós, and was occupied between centuries II BC until the VII century A.C. Some objects and little statues that have been found here are showed in the Archaeological Museum of Banyoles, where guided tours are organised to visit this place. The site is fenced but it is visible clearly from the road. Of the remains preserved we infer that this villa was dedicated to make wine and olive oil.

Clot d'Espolla is a temporary pond formed in the north of Lake Banyoles, less than 2 kms from it, and that feeds from some springs under the rocks in its basement.
