Calella, Coastal municipality in Maresme, Spain

The town stretches along three kilometers of Mediterranean coastline, featuring golden sand beaches and multiple pedestrian streets in the center.

The first documented mentions of Calella date to the 12th century, when fishing houses were established as protection against Saracen threats.

The Parish Church of Santa Maria and Sant Nicolau, consecrated in 1564, stands in the old town with its neoclassical structure and baroque facade.

The municipality maintains excellent transport connections, situated 50 kilometers from both Barcelona and Girona with regular train services.

The Calella Lighthouse, constructed in 1859, functions as an interpretation center for maritime navigation and urban communications.
