The territory of the fortress is huge (the perimeter is about 5.6 km). About 4.000 workers worked on the construction of the walls of the building and defensive structures for 13 years. The work was completed in 1753. The purpose of such a grandiose construction was the frequent military conflicts with neighboring France.
The fortress was a strong defensive fortification and housed a large Spanish military garrison. If you need to keep a long defense, then 4000 men could keep the siege of the fortress for a year. It is noteworthy that in 1925 Salvador Dali served as part of the military part of the fortress.
Address: Pujada del Castell. Entrance 3 euros. It is possible to order an excursion accompanied by a guide, then you will be given cheerful yellow helmets and taken through the underground part of the fortress.
