Olot (Catalan: [uˈlɔt] ⓘ; Spanish: [oˈlot] ⓘ) is the capital city of the comarca of Garrotxa, in the Province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain.

Olot is also well known for its cultural activity, with historical art movements like Olot school or factories of religious imagery, which contributed to the location in the city of the main Design and Arts & Crafts school of the province of Girona, the Escola d'Art i Superior de Disseny d'Olot.

According to the Crònica Universal de Catalunya, Olot was founded by Ulo, former king of the dynasty of Atlanteans, (then called Siculus), with the name of Ulot.

The term is located at 443.4 meters above sea level and is approximately 50 km from Girona, the capital of the province of the same name.

The old town, which grew up in the 9th century, has a rich cultural heritage, including the three-storied neo-classical cloister from the Hospici (charity building), the church of la Mare de Déu del Tura (patron of Olot), the Renaissance cloister of El Carme (which is a site of National Cultural Interest), and the Sant Esteve Parish Church, which was built in 1763 and it contains several artistic treasures, including an original El Greco (Christ carrying the Cross).

The artistic tradition of the city can be seen in several museums, being the Museu Comarcal de la Garrotxa the most relevant.

In Olot there are two important natural areas, the Moixina and the Parc Nou, which are characterized by their oak woods, which boast an understorey of plants that are extremely rare on the south side of the Pyrenees.
