History

Being a small place endowed with the best of nature’s bounty, Costa Brava has attracted many visitors to its shores over the years. However, it also has its historical - cultural value:

The Romans left many imprints of their presence in the region of Costa Brava. But other than that, archaeological relics also prove the presence of Iberian, Greeks, Visigoths and Arabs in the region’s history. The Costa Brava has a rich historical-artistic heritage because of the area's artistic and cultural inheritance. Its exceptional landscapes are made more interesting with its Romanesque churches and monasteries such as Sant Pere de Rodes, in Port de la Selva, Catalonia's most visited archaeological site - the medieval town of Pals or Palamós, the walled town of Tossa de Mar, the ancient citadel at Roses, the Greco-Roman ruins at Empúries, or the unique old town of Girona, with its winding, age-old cobbled streets. Alternatively, in Figueres you can admire the art of surrealist genius Salvador Dalí, the Costa Brava's great international ambassador.
