Castell de Sant Ferran

That’s definitely one of the most underestimated landmarks I’ve ever been to. It’s the largest military facility / fortress in Europe. For sure the Dalí museum is the heart of Figueres but this place is fantastic. It’s only 20 mins on foot from the museum. There is a parking available.
You can find so many interesting spots like the fortress walls, living pavilions, some ruins, amazing underground tunnels and buildings (stables). It’s breathtaking. Also there is an indescribable view of the mountains and the valley. It costs just 5 euros per person. There are lots of events you may be interested in. Just check their website. One of the reason I will come back is that there is an underground water supply with 9 million litres of pure water. It’s a must to explore. You can take a self guided tour through the castle with a detailed enough map.

No photos, can do this place justice. It is truly immense and utterly awesome. €5 per adult to enter. However, I can't recommend the guided tour enough. It costs €16 per adult, but the extra information given by Enric is well worth every cent. First up the tour of the above ground areas, in one of the 7 open top vintage Land Rovers, aka "the Aston Martin". Followed by the boat tour of one of the 4 underground water cisterns. Then we got to wander around the complex on our own. 32 Hectares in total, with a 3 km perimeter. Incredible. According to the internet, the fortress of Sant Feran, is the largest fort in Europe and I can well believe it.
It has to be seen to be believed.
Enric's sense of humour really made the trip for us. We loved it. 💜🤟

This is a very cool fort. Its incredible how big it is. It has a commanding view over the surrounding area..you need about 1hr to do the self walking tour..

Wonderful watertour with the jeep. Christina was our guide, and she did the trip in English. We loved the visit, learned more about the defence of this Castell.

If in Figueres, definitely worth the visit up here. We just did the normal visit but there is also a guided tour which I hear is amazing. Unfortunately this was closed when we went due to Corona. But still, it is a great visit with a rich history and great viewpoints. Entrance was 4eu per adult and you get a pamphlet that walks you through the various areas. If you have the time, don't skip this.

Great day out for the whole family. The guides are super knowledgeable and make the trip fun. We did the 4x4 tour with subterranean boat. Which is 1:45 minutes long tour between the two. After the tour you can walk around which takes between 30-40 minutes. My 7 year old loved it. It was a real adventure for her and really inspired her imagination of life in another time. The star fort is enormous, the views from the top of the mountain are breathtaking. Definitely prebook as it is popular. Definitely recommend.

Really great place. Great in sitze. Europe 's greatest fortification. And great History. Less in its Original purpose designed for the defence of Spain ageinst France Middle of 18th century, but finished 50 years later - When Attack technics had improved.

But legal Spanish Republic Parliament Had their last meeting there in February 1939, before Franco troops also conquered Last democratic Bastion of Northern Caltalunya.

Really enjoyable couple of hours, hardly anyone else there and all for €4, would recommend a visit. Even stayed in our motorhome in the car park overnight and a lovely walk around the perimeter.

Amazing and beautiful place.
Had a tour with a very nice guide.
They are very friendly and will answer all ur questions.
It's very interesting. You learn a lot from it.

Very cool place to visit. This castle fortress is massive! It’s very well organized and laid out to follow the map to view each part. Would recommend!

Worth visiting if you are into history. Take the guidelines at the entrance and imagine yourself in Spain at 18th century

Entrance fee was 4,5 euros. It is huge. It will take you around 1-2 hours to look around all the site. Amazing.

An amazing place, loved it. So cool to see this place and how HUGE it is. Entrance is only 3.50, worth it for what you can see. I loved the stables that could accomodate up to 500 horses back in the day.

We did the water cathedral safari and we absolutely loved it!!! The guides were very nice and the fortress was beautiful and very very big. And then the boats - it was such a unique experience. Would absolutely recommend:)

Nice castle, it is pretty big, we spent there an hour walking slowly and checking everything what was in the map given at the ticket office, the entry ticket is only 4 euro for adults and free for kids up to 9 years old

Compelling stories and beautiful views.

Very impressive Fortress. We took the exterieur tour, with the underground water reservoirs. The Guides spoke good English. Even the kids were overwhelmed. Sure worth a visit

Fabulous 18th Century castle and well worth a couple of hours of your time if you are near Figueres. The free audio guide is informative. Add some adventure to the visit by taking the 'Cathedral of the Water' tour option (need to pre-book). Involves a 4x4 and boat!

If you like military history, and castles in particular, you will love Sant Ferran. I had only a little over an hour available, so the audio guide wasn't going to be useful, so i just wandered around and took photos. The fortification is huge - the largest bastion fortress in the world - and affords great views of the surrounding lands. It only cost me 3.5 Euros to enter, so was good value. The cafe is decent and the loos work. It is a 15 minute walk from the Dali Museum and, as you climb, offers good views of the plain below..

Great place, biggest fortress of a kind in Europe. They give you an audio guide on entrance, very helpful
