Roses Citadel

Roses Citadel

This military fortification was built in 1543 and is now used as the site of open-air concerts and events. But there are also much older archaeological remains here, including the ruins of a Roman villa, an early Christian necropolis and several Visigothic buildings. There’s a small entrance charge.

All our villas are a bit further away. If you’d like to stay close, here are some nearby hotels:
