Castell de Sant Joan de Lloret
Castell de Sant Joan de Lloret, Medieval castle on coastal cliffs in Lloret de Mar, Spain.
The stone fortress features a central tower rising 60 meters above sea level between the main beach and Fenals beach of Lloret de Mar.
Built in 1041 as a defensive structure, the castle suffered severe damage during British naval attacks in 1805 during the Third Coalition War.
The fortress represents the feudal period of Catalonia when the territory was divided between religious authorities and secular lords until 1802.
The castle opens daily from June to September between 10:00 and 13:00, then 17:00 to 19:00, with admission at 3 euros for adults.
The fortress contains architectural elements from multiple centuries, including an 11th-century tower and restored battlements from different periods.

The Costa Brava stretches along the Catalan Mediterranean coast, combining historical monuments with natural landscapes. Girona Cathedral features the widest Gothic nave in the world, while the Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres houses the largest collection of the surrealist artist's works. The 10th-century monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes sits above the coast overlooking the sea. The Greek and Roman ruins of Empúries document over a thousand years of Mediterranean settlement. Medieval villages such as Pals and Peratallada have preserved their fortified structures and cobbled streets. The Marimurtra Botanical Garden in Blanes displays Mediterranean and exotic plant species along the cliffs. The coastline offers beaches of various sizes, from the wide sandy stretches at Platja d'Aro to small coves tucked between rocks. The Medes Islands form a marine reserve for divers and snorkelers. The coastal path Camí de Ronda connects many towns, passing through pine forests and along clifftops.
