Beyond the medieval walls and the mysterious Dance of Death, the true soul of this town lies with the notable figures of Verges who have shaped its history.
This corner of the Baix Empordà has been a cradle for artists, poets, and musicians whose talent and dedication have carried the town’s name far beyond our borders.
Some achieved international fame, becoming icons of Catalan culture. Others worked tirelessly and quietly from within to preserve our traditions, ensuring the Verges Procession would survive intact to this day.
In this section, we pay tribute to the renowned native and adopted children of Verges. From the universal voice of Lluís Llach, who sang of his homeland to the world, to the literary sensitivity of Maria Perpinyà, whose words elevated our celebration.
We also remember key figures like Carles Perpinyà, Matthew Feliu, and Siset Mir, individuals without whom the Vergélitain identity would not be the same.
