Tossa de Mar (La Selva)

Tossa de Mar’s architectural heritage covers several historical periods, from Roman to modern times, with plenty of mediaeval elements. One of the town’s most noteworthy historical elements is the Roman villa of Els Ametllers, which was one of the most important towns of the ancient Roman province of Tarraco in the 1st century BC. This rich historical heritage is present in the streets and lanes located both inside and outside the walled enclosure of the Vila Vella (Old Town) of Tossa de Mar. Tossa de Mar is the only fortified mediaeval town on the Catalan coast whose walled enclosure has been preserved intact. The wall was built in the 13th century. It’s fascinating to stroll around the cobbled streets of the enclosure, which lead to places such as the Chapel and Parish Church of Sant Vicenç, built in the neoclassical style in 1755, or the fishing district of Tossa, featuring quaint cottages such as Can Ganga or Can Leandro with their Gothic windows.
