Figueres, Salvador Dalí's hometown
A few kilometres from the Mediterranean, at the foot of the Pyrenees and surrounded by three natural parks, Figueres is the capital of Alt Empordà, an active and modern city. The famous Dalí Theatre-Museum, located in the centre of the city, is an almost obligatory visit during your stay in the Empordà.
Discover the surrealist world of Salvador Dalí and combine your visit with a stroll through the city centre where, among other interesting places, the artist's birthplace is located. On the outskirts of the city you will find the 18th century castle of San Fernando: one of the largest fortresses in Europe, able to hold up to 6,000 men.
