What to see and visit in Figueres: Modernism, heritage, and nature

Figueres: A city shaped by Dalí's genius and the charm of the Empordà

Figueres is the birthplace of Salvador Dalí and a place where surrealism is alive both inside and outside the Dalí Theatre-Museum, a space designed by the artist himself blending theater, museum, and spectacle. Here, installations and visual games awaken unique emotions and display the creative essence of the painter. Located in Alt Empordà, very close to the Costa Brava, Figueres combines art, history, and a privileged location that invites a leisurely exploration before continuing to discover the Empordà coastline.
