Museu de la Ciutadella de Roses, Military museum in Roses, Spain.

The Ciutadella de Roses Museum occupies a Renaissance fortress covering 139,000 square meters, featuring ancient walls and archaeological remains from multiple periods.

Founded as a Greek colony named Rhode, the site evolved through Roman times and medieval periods until becoming a 16th-century fortress under King Charles V.

The museum displays archaeological findings, historical documents, and multimedia exhibits that illustrate the Mediterranean maritime traditions and regional development through centuries.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 and 17:00, and Sundays from 10:00 to 14:00, with guided tours available in multiple languages.

The museum integrates preserved structures from four different civilizations: Greek, Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance, all within the same archaeological complex.

Things to do on the Costa Brava: attractions, activities, heritage

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.
