Roses

Roses is a magnificent coastal city on the Costa Brava, in the province of Girona. Known for its rich history and impressive natural landscapes, it is one of the essential destinations in Catalonia.

The Ciutadella de Roses, classified Cultural Asset of National Interest, contains remains that span thirteen centuries of history. It is a captivating archaeological site, with remains ranging from Greek and Roman settlements to medieval fortifications. A simple guided tour of this seventeen-hectare area will allow you to discover artifacts and better understand local history.

Do you want to enjoy the most spectacular views of one of the most beautiful bays in the world? The Château de la Trinité, a true historical treasure, offers stunning panoramic views of the entire Bay of Roses and the Mediterranean. Located just above the Roses lighthouse, at the tip of La Poncella, this fort was built in the 16th century during the reign of Emperor Charles V to defend the coast from attacks. It is a military construction in the shape of a 5-pointed star, which complements the citadel to defend itself against invaders.

Roses is also famous for its many beaches. Almadrava Beach is ideal for those looking for fine sand, while Playa de la Punta, located in the city center, is perfect for sunbathing or strolling along the boardwalk. Finally, you will love the beaches of Canyelles Petites and Calís for their crystal-clear waters and picturesque surroundings.

For nature lovers, the Cap de Creus Natural Park is a must-see. This protected park, with its unique rock formations and secluded coves, is perfect for hiking, cycling and wildlife watching. Numerous activities can be practiced within the park's perimeter, but the most popular are scuba diving and hiking. You can also take your family on a quieter sightseeing train excursion.

Finally, the Santa Margarita neighborhood, with its picturesque canals and seaside restaurants, is perfect for strolling at night and enjoying local specialties in a relaxed atmosphere.
