Far de Sant Sebastià

The Sant Sebastià lighthouse stands 169 meters above sea level on a promontory at the eastern end of Llafranc, offering views of the Mediterranean coast.

Built in 1857 by architect José María Faquineto Ródenas, the lighthouse forms part of a complex that includes a 15th-century watchtower used against pirate invasions.

The site encompasses an Iberian settlement from the 5th to 1st centuries BC, with preserved artifacts displayed in an on-site museum for public viewing.

Visitors can reach the lighthouse through a 1.2-kilometer walking path from central Llafranc, following marked steps that start at the harbor area.

The lighthouse complex integrates multiple structures including an 18th-century chapel, which now functions as part of a hotel with a Mediterranean restaurant.
