Car Hire Figueras

Figueras Guide

Top of your list to visit should be the Theatre Museu Gala which is almost entirely dedicated to Figueras’ famous son, Dali. The building itself is quite spectacular looking like a fabulous pink cake dotted with silver dragees. Elsewhere, look for the St Ferran Castle, a monolithic block of a fortress which has defended the city since the 18th century and is purported to be the largest in Europe. For a gentle afternoon’s stroll, take a walk through the old streets of Figueras and just soak up the history in the stone.

Figueras Info

Figueras is either a large town or a small city but however you describe it, Figueras is packed with history. Beginning with two Roman towns that merged, it didn’t become a force in the region until the 10th century. Then, its position near the French border made it an important trading town and frontier post. In more recent times it was the birthplace of the great painter Salvador Dali whose memory it works hard to preserve in the fabulous museum dedicated to the man.
