On 15 July 2026, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía visited the archaeological site of Empúries, accompanied by young people taking part in the programmes of the Princess of Girona Foundation. The visit formed part of the programme surrounding the 2026 Princess of Girona Awards, during which the Princess and Infanta Sofía were joined by participants in the Foundation's youth programmes.
The archaeological site of Empúries is the most important Greco-Roman archaeological site on the Iberian Peninsula and the only one where the remains of both a Greek city (Emporion) and a Roman city (Emporiae) coexist. The Greek settlement of Emporion was founded in 575 BC by settlers from Phocaea.
The Princess and Infanta toured the archaeological excavations in the northern section of the ancient Greek city. There, they met students taking part in the 80th Empúries Archaeology Course, a programme designed for upper-level undergraduate and master's students of Archaeology and History.
Later, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, together with Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, attended the presentation of the conclusions of the Youth Advisory Council (Consejo Asesor Joven – CAJ), where practical and measurable proposals addressing the main challenges facing young people were presented.
For the occasion, Queen Letizia wore a floral-print dress by Hugo Boss. Princess Leonor wore a pink linen blazer by Mirto, while Infanta Sofía wore a white blouse paired with green wide-leg linen trousers by Rivera.
