Abstract
Figueres improves its position within the Catalan urban system that develops in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In the administrative jurisdiction of Girona, the royal town of Figueres emerges from the surrounding manorial towns and, due to its vitality, starts to climb the urban hierarchy. The process is possible thanks to a concrete urban project led by members of an elite centred in the interests of manufacturers and merchants who, however, needed royal privileges in order to secure and improve the achieved position. The Figueres that emerges in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries does so in close relationship with its Emporda hinterland and also with the territories of the Roussillon county. The city of Girona, to a good extent, impedes that this ascent could go even further.
