Once the oldest town in Catalonia, Roses is a living museum mapped out by the traces of the passing ages, and as a privileged place that was lodged deeply in the many cultures who once inhabited its past. Adorned by a wide and varied range of artistic and historical monuments, it lies at rest sustained by the perfect scenic and geometric setting of the bay, a perfectly sheltered spot to enjoy its sandy beaches.
The Mad, Mad World of Salvador Dalí became one of the leading exponents of surrealism, depicting irrational imagery of dreams and delirium in a unique, meticulously detailed style. Famous for his eccentricity Dalí was born in Figueres and died in Figueres. Most of his works are in the Theater-Museum there, built by the artist himself around the former theater where his first exhibition was held.
