Cantallops is a municipality in the comarca of the Alt Empordà in Girona, Catalonia, Spain. It is situated below the Albera Range, and is linked to La Jonquera by the GI-601 road.
The town originated around the ancient Cantallops castle, documented since the 13th century. Currently, only partial remains remain, a fragment of the wall and a single tower that, in the 19th century, was converted into a bell tower of the parochial church of Sant Esteve.
