Things to do Figueres Free Walking Tour

We'll begin with a historical introduction: Figueres was already inhabited by the Iberians over 2000 years ago and occupied by the Romans before flourishing during the medieval period. Next, we'll visit the birthplace and homes of Salvador Dalí, the surrealist genius. We'll explore his life and how the turbulent 20th century shaped him and the local community. Then, we'll introduce you to Narcís Monturiol, a prominent but lesser-known figure from Figueres, the inventor of the mechanical propulsion submarine. We'll discover his achievements and contributions to underwater navigation. Continuing the tour, we'll head to the Town Hall, the heart of the historic center, where you'll immerse yourself in the city's vibrant atmosphere and charming streets. We'll also explore Figueres' unique location near the French border, which led to the town being chosen to construct Europe's largest modern-era fortress, the impressive Castle of Sant Ferran. Lastly, we'll see the old Church and the renowned Dalí Museum, a theatre with a tragic outcome. Together, we'll find out why the painter decided to locate his museum there!
