Museu la Ciutadella de Roses Info and Reviews

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful, I highly recommend it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Share the experience of visiting a cultural space with a walk through history, featuring a site of medieval remains and a city concept. The Citadel of Roses in winter allows you to see a museum and in summer you can attend concerts with Sons del Món that has a schedule.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: One of the best things in Roses. The place is very well maintained, it's pleasant to stroll through the esplanade, explore the ruins, and see the museum. The price is very reasonable, with a discount if you belong to certain groups. It was a very pleasant visit, we enjoyed it a lot.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: the attention of the girl, ticket sales, great, attentive, kind, friendly. thank you
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful and interesting
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We went on Saturday without queueing and with very few people. It allowed us to enjoy the views, history, and all its charm. I thought it was spectacular.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is interesting to know the settlements that this beautiful place has had throughout history
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Every day more beautiful. Very kind and everything very clean.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Place to see a part of the history of Roses where you have a small indoor museum and the ruins in a fairly large area that is nice for a walk and to see a bit of what has remained, whether you are interested in history or not. The entrance fee is quite economical and for the time you'll spend there, it's quite good, and children are free. Near this museum, there is a dirt lot that is free and ideal for parking as it is a complicated area.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Iconic place with a lot of history, a must-visit if you are in the Roses area. The only downside is that the museum only has information in Catalan.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Well, it looks very well maintained although the staff were not very friendly
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Ideal for delving into the history of roses, from its origin to the present day, as well as the military, economic, and political use of its infrastructure. The explanations are clear and the ruins are a must-see, at least once!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A good archaeological site. The signage could be improved. The museum exhibition part is very good.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Archaeological site still under exploration. Traces of civilizations since the Neolithic. We went at noon and it was almost empty. Despite the sun, we enjoyed the walk among the ruins imagining the life of those who once inhabited the place. There was an exhibition of beautiful and suggestive nature photos. We bought some souvenirs and they attended to us with great diligence.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A must-visit along with the Trinity Castle. The attention from the receptionist who also works at both places is impeccable.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: This is in front of the beach of Roses, a recommended place for wheelchair users. The best promenade on the Costa Brava. Ideal for exercising with a Hanbike (Batec, Rodem).
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Ideal for learning about the history and the wars that have occurred in the city
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Remains of the Roses Citadel. Clean and as well preserved as possible, considering the passage of time. Affordable entrance and worth it.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It is well preserved. Ok to the entry information. In the evening, concert with a DJ and open doors.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It is interesting, but I believe it is not well marked, nor with good explanations if you go without a guide. I also don't think it's fair to pay double to have a guide who only does one tour all day... at least on Sunday when we visited
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: At dusk, the magical atmosphere and the silence of the surroundings transport you to all the besieged wars in this place.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: 2,500 years of the passage and evolution of various civilizations in an enjoyable visit that offers the results of archaeological research carried out with great effort and commitment by expert teams.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful museum and beautiful place..a must-visit if you go to Roses!!!!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: I'm surprised that concerts and even a circus can take place at an archaeological excavation. Dirtiness and lack of information.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very beautiful and impressive place with its ruins and museum. Regarding the concert I saw there by Luz Casal at the Sons del Emporda festival, excellent venue for concerts, everything very well organized with fool tracks to have something before the concert. Very well taken care of by all the staff who look after these events. We also saw some very entertaining monologues by Corbacho. Luz Casal's performance was impressive. I 100% recommend visiting this place and if you can enjoy the events that are held there.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: If you are in Roses, you have to visit the Citadel complex. I recommend the guided tour; it is a bit more expensive but totally worth it because this complex has a lot of little anecdotes that are hard to discover without a guide. You just need to arrive 15 minutes early to buy the ticket, and while you wait, you can see the rest of the museum.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: I couldn't see much there were concerts and live music. Near large free parking.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Regardless of whether you're going to a concert or not, the Village area is perfect for spending the evening/night, with live music, DJs, and plenty of food options in the form of food trucks. Totally recommended, especially if you add Bisbal's concert: you couldn't ask for more!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A beautiful place, very accessible, with a beautiful museum and even more ruins. Excellent customer service.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A unique and beautiful place to learn about the history of Roses from its Greek origins (colony of Rhodes) to the medieval period. A pleasant walk through history! Highly recommended
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A must-visit if you are in the area, whether you like history or simply strolling around. The entrance fee is very economical compared to other places, 4€ at most. Many corners to discover with splendid views. I believe dogs can enter, I don't know the details, but I saw a few inside. If the day is very hot, I recommend bringing a hat or similar, as there aren't many shady spots in the venue. However, on the day I visited, there was a very pleasant breeze at the top of the wall. There is also a museum that is definitely worth it. There are also temporary exhibitions and, in summer, especially, the venue is used for various events.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: If you are in the area, it is a must-visit. The visit is cheap, if you have a youth card it’s €2.50 and the general entry is €4, it’s worth paying them. I recommend entering the museum first to see the history and get contextualized. The place is BEAUTIFUL. It’s wonderful to get lost discovering the ruins. Take the route slowly and enjoy the monuments. One thing I liked is that you can enter some towers and you can also enter some rooms. The information girls, the ones selling the tickets, are very nice and friendly.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Charming and very interesting place. We did the guided tour with Sara and we loved it. A perfect place to get to know a bit of the history of roses and the whole area in general. 100% recommendable
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place, I can't describe it.. you have to be there to experience it... fantastic place
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very good. Recommended to learn about the history of this beautiful village.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I recommend visiting it, it is a very interesting cultural space. Also, this summer they are having different concerts in this spectacular setting.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Exhibition of the objects found in the successive archaeological excavations of the site, a video explaining the history of Rosas is projected, highly recommended to watch it
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Defensive citadel museum of the town of roses very well preserved. Photos and review in May 2024.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very nice, they have a website with the history of the place, and they also provide you with a brochure with information.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Super good
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I recommend the visit. It is very interesting.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very interesting to learn about the history of the place, as there are various sites from different civilizations, from prehistory, the Roman era, the medieval period, and it has a small exhibition about the testimony of the captain who sailed the Calypso ship of Jean Cousteau. Also, the person at the ticket office is very friendly and explained everything you need to know about the region. Inside the premises, there are beautiful views.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is an archaeological complex that spans from the Paleolithic to the Civil War. There is so much space that you can enjoy it almost alone
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very interesting place and I recommend visiting it to learn about our history
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is a large outdoor space very well maintained, with remnants from different eras. You can spend a couple of hours to see everything. It has a part that is a very interesting museum.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very nice location, well preserved and illustrative. Nice museum. Recommended for a pleasant day.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We went with a guide, very interesting and super well explained, it lasts about 1 hour, you are explained the fascinating history of the citadel throughout the ages. There is a museum with the findings from the place. The guide gets a 10!!!!! The price of admission to the citadel is €4, and if you have a special card like ours for young people, it costs €2.50. If you also hire the guide, it's an additional €4 well spent.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We liked it a lot, the citadel is spectacular and the ticket office staff are very friendly. The only thing I would improve is to also provide the museum texts in Spanish and English so I don't have to use my mobile.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The whole surroundings of Girona are fantastic and beautiful for walking
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: We didn't get in since the regular entry is €8... Maybe it's due to the location, but other destinations of the same style charge €5 for entry, and I see that as more affordable.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful and well preserved, I recommend it if you are in the area
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: very good and historical place, we went to see a circus and it really felt like we were in another place and as if the moment was frozen, I recommend
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It's a place to stroll and read the different information points, all outdoors while walking through the fortress of the Citadel. In addition to the different indoor rooms of the Museum filled with objects and descriptions from the past.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Quite good for history and archaeology lovers. But I miss some kind of audio guides or a marked route to follow.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A highly recommended visit to spend the morning.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A marvel, impressive !!!!. Must-visit. Offers the rare opportunity to see on the same ground a Hellenistic neighborhood, a Roman villa, a Romanesque monastery, a villa, and medieval walls, as well as a Renaissance fortification besides a museum and a beautiful photography exhibition from the international contest MEDFOTO 2022
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A must-visit to learn about the history of Roses.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: it is nice and good for walking if it is not hot
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Small museum, but it covers several periods of the history of Roses, Greek, Roman, etc. It is located within a walled enclosure of the same name. Its visit is interesting.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: If you really like history, it is very instructive. I recommend watching the documentary first, which lasts 12 minutes, and buying the mixed ticket along with the castle ticket.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The museum is small but complete and the grand citadel is the word. It is a comfortable walk, suitable for everyone. You can enter the battlements and climb its walls. Artistically and archaeologically, you walk through 13 centuries of history. Remains of all the settlements in Roses, many of them very well preserved, from the ancient Greek Rode to Romans, Visigoths, Paleochristians... all the way to the Renaissance. The ancient Romanesque Monastery of St. Mary of Roses together with the remains of the medieval village seemed magnificent to me. It is a pleasure to stroll through the enclosure. Comfortable shoes if you want to explore it all
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Nice place with a lot of history. We went at sunset and it was incredible!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Normal entry €4 with many things to see. The staff's attention was excellent. There is a guided tour option. Dogs are allowed outside. It is a place with a lot of history, and I recommend seeing the museum and the audiovisual first before going out to see the buildings and ruins from different periods. Highly recommend.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, it is forbidden to go through Roses and not visit the Citadel!!!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Very interesting, with a place that has a lot of history. We liked it a lot, and children under 16 enter for free
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A review of the history of Roses from the Iron Age, Greek, Roman, 12th, 16th... poorly maintained and little restored. They should take example from the citadel of Jaca. There are missing milestones about history.
Translated from Catalan

Positive experience: It is a good museum to learn about both the history of Roses and its citadel. In addition to being able to visit it.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A very interesting visit, a great journey through history. If I had to find a downside, the museum could offer information in Spanish along with Catalan, it would be easier when visiting the museum. The guide we had was a 10.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The monument is very well preserved and it’s nice to see, but the customer service leaves something to be desired. We expected a bit more kindness and friendliness.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Great, very nice place, well organized, easy access. Very pleasant experience.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Magnificent museum in the citadel of Rhodes that you must visit along with the citadel, a pleasant walk awaits you through the medieval period.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting fortress and museum, with a lot of information about the history of Roses and its surroundings, always illustrated with drawings or contemporary objects. The exterior part is very beautiful with views of the sea and the mountain. It has an interactive application with which you can read and learn about the ruins and see representations of what they were in 3D.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The citadel of Roses is always great and full of history.. But throughout the summer, there are numerous music festival events where you can enjoy having a snack.. Outdoors with an unmatched setting ...
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Outdoor concerts and gastronomy. Very good place in summer
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Mi visita fue durante el festival de "Sons del mon" espacioso, bien iluminado, te puedes mover con libertad, aún estando lleno de gente, no te sientes agobiado, la zona de los baños también está bien y sin exceso de colas. Si por poner pegas, faltarían más puntos para tirar basura.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Beautiful and charming, it's better to visit in the afternoon as you can find more shade. The summer proposals for children are excellent.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The employees are very friendly and professional, the ciutadella is very beautiful. It's worth visiting. There is shade to sit and take a little break, and the best part... They accept dogs outside. Inside the museum, dogs cannot go, but one can sit at the entrance and wait. You can also buy cold water which is ideal in summer.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It was a great experience and a fabulous trip led by Nuria, who was attentive to us at all times, she is a great professional, it was wonderful to discover all those things. It is a place to spend a good day.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The guide, Arlet, took us around the Ciutadella and we loved how she did it. She explained everything wonderfully and told us many interesting facts. It's worth paying for the guided tour. Thank you very much!! :) The attention at the ticket counters was also very good.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: La Ciutadella seems to me one of the must-visit places for those visiting Roses. It is a young historic-artistic ensemble, recognized in 1961, because before that it was attempted to build in that place. Finally, it was managed to convert it into a historical and cultural space. La Ciutadella combines vestiges of the last thirteen centuries. It has different spaces and a huge area for walking and exploring the ruins and paths without overwhelming crowds. It covers 131,480 m2. It has an archaeological site where you can see the remains of the Hellenistic quarter of the Greek colony of Rhode, which lived through the city's peak prosperity during the 4th and 3rd centuries BC. A Roman villa, dated between the 2nd century BC and the 6th century AD. Remains of the paleochristian necropolis and other buildings from the Visigothic period. Romanesque Lombard monastery of Santa Maria, from the 11th century, and remains of the fortified medieval urban core. Remains of different military buildings from the last occupation of the 16th century. And of course, a Museum that facilitates an immersion in the history and cultural heritage of Roses, from prehistory to the more recent era with an Exhibition Hall. There are guided tours for little money, and it's very worthwhile. Before you enter, you will find some sculptures and references along the Roses promenade.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A nice walk! Ideal to complete your weekend. You have to pay a symbolic price for the entrance.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to visit with family. It has a lot of history and it is very clear using the web app that they indicate there. The adult ticket is €4, children under 16 enter for free, and teachers and students pay €2.5. Impressive. Truly a must-see if you are in Roses.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A must-visit place in Roses. The entrance to the museum is affordable and you can easily follow the history of the site in different languages. The exterior is beautiful, but it lacks information. We missed a guided tour, as it was difficult to follow a logical order with just the map and the QR codes. When we asked the staff, they didn't help us more or give us any directions.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is a national interest archaeological site, where we can find a small museum and an outdoor space with Roman, Greek, and medieval ruins. A place you cannot miss. The entrance only cost €4, well spent, 100% recommended.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, a place to see if you go to Roses. At first, they show you a very well-made explanatory video. The staff is very friendly. You can see everything in 1 hour or 1 hour and a half.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended visit for both families with children and groups of friends, couples, etc... very entertaining and not boring at all, the expo and the museum. Inside, there are ruins outdoors with plenty of space for taking photos and spending a very pleasant time. Reasonable price.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The place is impressive and beautiful with a great story to tell...unfortunately, the guide (spoke in French and Spanish) wasn’t very good and didn’t explain this wonderful place in detail...we learned more from the museum and the signs than what she managed to explain! for another day we will take the guide who explains in Catalan! I was following her and she provided all kinds of details! we will return changing guides...this way we will learn the true story!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very pleasant walk, and you can bring your dog outside; it is very well-kept.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: An impressive place that has seen the ancient Greeks, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims, and Napoleonic forces, leaving many of them their share of legacy. The free visit costs 4 euros and includes access to the museum. You can bring your dog (except in the museum area) and even the kids will have fun if you plan it well. It's worth it!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Magnificent place.. Many years of memories and visits.. Even many years ago concert of the boy with the freckle.. With my son and his friends .. Very pleasant visit I recommend Not to miss this place if you are in the area
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. It has an antiques museum from the era. A medieval area and the ruins of the ancient Roman and Greek Rhodes. Very friendly staff. The price is affordable with various student discounts, young card...
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: I did not enter because the price is a bit high for what is inside; practically it is just the wall and from the outside you can see part of the church inside and little more, some remains. In my opinion, it should be cheaper, coming from the ruins of Ampuria Brava where there are indeed archaeological remains and the price you pay is worth it.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very interesting but there is a lack of information in each area of what you are seeing.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: come visit us, WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU WITH OPEN ARMS. With guided tours with very very good companions. Pets are only allowed outside, inside the museum it's not allowed, but outside in the citadel it's fine. Owners should bring bags for the matters that animals make. Thank you to everyone who visits us? And to those who don't. We invite you to come. Very affordable prices and with discounts depending on where you live, if you are a student there is a discount, and if you are retired or unemployed as well. THANK YOU, WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Unique place in the city, but the level of conservation of the ruins is very limited. The remains are very degraded, and you can get an idea of the different civilizations that have passed through the area in an ambiguous way.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, if you go to see it, go with a guided tour for €8 per person and children under 10 free, it is definitely worth it. MARIONA was our guide, very knowledgeable, made the tour feel short. We went at 8 PM and at night it is beautiful. The visit lasts 1 hour.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Well-deserved guided tour, the girl (I think her name was Mariona) explained everything perfectly, with great enthusiasm and conveyed to us her passion and enjoyment for her work. It's a shame that more money isn't invested in this museum. Free parking.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Dogs can enter outer space
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: I liked seeing it, they explain it well. It's very well organized, it's worth seeing and they have performances at night. If you go to Roses, it's worth stopping by to see it, it's a town that has everything.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Well explained and good museum with temporary exhibitions.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I didn't visit the museum as I was going to a Rock concert, but I asked a guide a couple of things and within five minutes he told me the entire history of La Ciutadella, the ancient metropolis of Roses with Greco-Roman and Medieval remains and the fabulous walled enclosure in pre-Gothic style, very kind of him to take the trouble to give me a few highlights of the surroundings, I've left the museum visit on 'Pending Tasks', lol...
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very interesting but better to visit it with a guide
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A must-visit to learn about the history of this magnificent town that has captivated us. The visitor service at this museum is a 10 from the professionals who work at the center.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It has a museum that tells the history of the Ciutadella and the town of Roses. Once you are in the esplanade, if it is summer, it can get very hot, I recommend a cap or something to cover yourself as there are no shadows in part of the visit.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Spectacular. The guided tour is highly recommended. The girl who explains it, 'MARIONA', makes you imagine everything she is telling you. Bravo for their knowledge.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very interesting, the small entrance museum with antiques, the medieval area, and especially the ruins of the ancient Greek and Roman Rhodes. In the center of Roses and with free parking right next door. €4 for a normal entrance and reduced entry €2.50 with student card, youth card, and seniors.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Friendly and attentive staff, ideal for visiting the ruins and walking along the top of the wall to enjoy the views
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: I liked it a lot!! I will return to see the video and museum again!
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Well-structured museum with an explanatory video at the beginning of the tour and very good presentation. The exterior on such hot summer days is not pleasant to walk through in full sun, so it's better to wait until the last hour to visit it. The only negative point I have is that, being a municipal museum, there is no discount on the ticket for people with disabilities, but there is for other groups, an absolute nonsense.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The kindness of the staff who let us take photos from the door.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A fascinating place. 100% recommended even if you think you don’t like stones ;) History, our history, always adds up.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very quiet place that takes you away from the hustle and bustle, ideal for strolling and discovering the history of the beautiful town of Roses
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended visit to learn about the history of the city of Roses and the Costa Brava in general. This area was a strategic location for civilizations due to its location and wealth. There are many remains and information about the different inhabitants of the area throughout history. Highly recommended to visit.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Recovered, it is a quiet green area in the middle of a beach zone. Inside, on a large lawn, there are three trees, two benches, and a well to catch your breath, along with ruins from Greek, Arab, and medieval epics that accompany us with their thousands of years. A break from the sun, beach, and the promenade of outdoor restaurants that is also very nice.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A place to visit without rush, dedicating at least an hour or more. Its entrance fee is very reasonable and with very extensive hours. It is worth visiting.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A good tour of the history of this town, with 25 centuries and different cultures. A must-visit place. You'll like it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful historical place! Upon entering to the left, there is a museum of ancient objects and relics even before Christ, then outside there is a huge area full of ancient constructions and structures (medieval and Roman). A highly recommended place to visit, and the entry fee is only €4 (€2.50 if you are a student). The receptionist woman is very nice and explains everything very well.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A pleasant encounter with the history of #Catalonia. The ruins of the Citadel are impressive, although at times some poorly executed interventions can be noticed, like those of the Church. Another thing that stands out is that the place is marketed as an ideal venue for performances, which in my view contradicts the proper conservation that this place, which could be categorized as a 'sacred site', should have. The Museum is amazing. #mustsee
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It was not planned to visit this marvel of history, but we went and found it interesting, how in a walled settlement different cultures like Greeks and Romans have lived... Also, children do not pay, which is a great gesture so they can enjoy the culture. Visited in June 2021
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Magnificent historical site. Inside the 16th-century citadel, there are Greek, Roman, and medieval ruins. It includes a small museum with pieces from the archaeological site. The guided tour with Sonia is highly recommended!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It's super cool, both for going with the family and with the dogs. We liked it a lot, we will repeat.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting all the history from the Paleolithic, Greeks, Romans, and how over time the sea is retreating.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: I would like the same description with luxury of details that they make in Catalan to be in Spanish and, if possible, in English. The park where the archaeological area is located could be cleaner.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place on the Costa Brava, especially for its beaches and coves
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: An archaeologically interesting area, although only one tower of the ancient wall remains standing.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Interesting place to see, a good way to spend an afternoon
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It can be visited with strollers and wheelchairs, the path is practically dry earth, the tour lasts approximately 1 hour and photos can be taken. At the entrance and exit there are restrooms and a cafeteria. There is no shade, it is all under the sun. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a bottle of water especially in summer. There are very few explanations. For that, they use guided tours in Spanish on some full days. Ticket sales at the box office, with discounts for the disabled and seniors. Dogs can be visited 'always on a leash' although we didn't see any security personnel. Remains of constructions from different eras can be seen.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to remember the history of this tourist city. I was lucky to enjoy a concert by a great group Dr Prats
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A highly recommended visit... Discovering that the history of ROSES, since its foundation by the Greeks, was buried within the walled enclosure and how they are recovering it is commendable... A success. I recommend visiting it.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We were in Roses last week and went to see a free children's show inside the walled area of La Ciutadella. We didn't visit the entire site because the kids were quite tired, but we will definitely return. There was also a small circus and some food trucks set up inside. We were left wanting to try them.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: An entertaining afternoon getting to know a bit more about the history.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The space is nice, and the entrance fee is reasonable considering there isn’t much to see inside (four Greek stones, four Roman stones, some more stones from the medieval period, and two cars that I am not clear if they are Greek, Roman, or designed by the architect who pocketed 20,000 bucks for designing the cement tower that tries to recreate the original). It is advisable to take the guided tour because it is quite well explained by the guides available and is also offered in several languages. I recommend visiting the citadel, especially if you want to escape a bit from the beach bars and the excessive tourism of Roses.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Scenic place where concerts are held
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: The external appearance, some walls, does not do justice to its immense interior. Apart from the museum, you can stroll through a place full of history, from the Greeks to the present day, with a medieval city, with recent excavations, worth visiting.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting history and architectural complex preserved with many reconstructions but you can get an idea of what it once was. Everything is in Catalan, even the introductory video guide is not available in Spanish, the linguistic flexibility is poor since it is also not in English or French. The price is 4 euros, reduced fee 2.5. They close at 21 in summer. Recommended but it loses a lot due to their insistence on we already know what...
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: If you like the ancient, Greek ruins, Roman ruins, Visigoth ruins, and Christian spaces, this is your place
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A must-visit place in Roses. I recommend taking a guided tour.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We took the guided tour in Spanish. Very interesting history from the time of the Greeks to the present day.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: A gem! The truth is that you don't expect to find what is hidden behind its walls. Highly recommended for a visit.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Incredible the review of the history of this place!!! Highly recommended to do it with a guide. For 4 euros more (8 in total). It is a one-hour tour that is very enjoyable.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It was a wonderful journey through history. But the best part was learning it from a guide like the one who explained it to us that day... I don't remember her name... it was the afternoon of June 18th. Thank you for your warmth and well-transmitted knowledge. Additionally, we were in a wheelchair and we received her attention at all times. The employees at the Ruins of Empuries should learn what good visitor service you offer. Once again, thank you.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A great surprise. The truth is that the citadel is very large and in one place you have a lot of history: Greek, Roman, medieval... The site has a museum that explains all the history and evolution, with artifacts, etc. In the museum, it was a bit hot and we missed AC. Outside, you can take a walk at your leisure to see the different areas, although the best thing is to follow the historical order. They had an interactive map and another one where you could see 3D reconstructions. We went in the middle of the morning and the truth is that being so exposed made us very hot. We recommend going either first thing in the morning or at the end of the day to enjoy it to the fullest.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Due to the pandemic, there are closed spaces, I have found some archaeological excavations, and I liked the painter's exhibition
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It's a gem!!! I recommend it, as long as you enjoy history
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and very interesting to see the different cultures that populated the place.
Translated from Spanish

Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Beautiful and very interesting to see, if you go to the guided tour at 8 PM I recommend arriving a bit earlier on your own to be able to see everything comfortably
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Short but nice, the entrance costs 4€ and includes the museum and the citadel, it has clean restrooms and friendly people.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: In a large esplanade surrounded by archaeological ruins, on summer nights, 'cinema a la fresca' and concerts of 'Sons del món' are organized.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Museum and excavations are very interesting. I want to highlight the friendliness of the reception girl.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Amazing. We had a guided tour and we liked everything a lot even though the weather was bad. Very kind people at the museum.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is a beautiful place to see how the Greeks built.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very nice and the entrance costs 4 euros, and if you have a student card it costs 2.50€. They allow pets to enter for free, and that is what I liked the most.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is a huge place and it surprises me the large amount of history from different eras that is concentrated in it. The only drawback I saw is that the information they provide if you don’t pay for a guide was a bit lacking. Still, it is a 100% recommended visit.
Translated from Catalan

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, concert of Sons del Mon featuring Morat!!!
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A beautiful place to visit, especially at sunset
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The Citadel of Roses is very close to the center. It is worth the visit, and it is advisable to go with enough time, as it is a quite extensive site. With the entrance, you get a guide brochure which is very helpful and you learn very interesting things.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very interesting historical Ciutadella.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Awesome! Ideal for going with kids.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is in front of the beach. The museum itself is not that interesting, but the exterior is beautiful and you can access it with dogs. Additionally, it's a nice walk and they provide guides for you to read at your own pace while walking. A must-visit if you pass by Roses
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: A very nice visit, everything is well taken care of and where you can learn a little more about our history.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: It has opening hours, entrance is €4. It has a written guide that explains all the buildings. It's good for spending an hour.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very interesting. It is very well kept and the Greek and Roman remains take you back centuries. Highly recommended to go on the guided tour. Watch out for the heat during the visit. The only problem is the museum, which is 100% in Catalan :/
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Historical ruins to spend a good time exploring the past. Although they provide a laminated map of what each area is, I think there's a bit of information missing for those who don’t want to go with a guide.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Interesting place. Full of history. You can really tell its low funding for maintenance and reconstruction, and especially the scarce information, both historical and descriptive, from the organization. Nice to let your imagination run wild among its ruins.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Ideal for learning a bit of history about this beautiful place.. Roses.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It is wonderful, large, clean, quiet; you can spend a day there with kids or without them, all day long.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very beautiful citadel. You can tell the work they are doing.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Place with a lot of history. Interesting and beautiful. Recommended to take a guided tour of the ruins. There is also a small museum. In an hour and a half, you can visit the ruins and the museum. The guide who showed us around was very engaging.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: We did the guided tour, recommended. If you take the one at 8 PM, you can't visit more because they close, but you can come back another day to stroll around calmly. I recommend it to learn about the history of Roses.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very beautiful and well-preserved architectural monument. It's a shame that the museum is only designed for Catalan-speaking tourists, as the texts and descriptions of the objects are only in Catalan, something disrespectful to the 99% of tourists who visit it and do not speak Catalan.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Beautiful views and an incredible history. With a student ID, you get a 50% discount. The normal entry is also inexpensive, about €5.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: The place is very nice, but I give it four stars because it doesn't have an audio guide and the laminated paper map is a bit complicated for locating things and looking for the explanation. Everything is well taken care of, clean, and organized. The receptionists are friendly and polite.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Super beautiful place to visit. We ended up there without planning and we really liked it. I would recommend it for discovering new places. You have to pay for the museum but I don't know how much because when we went it was free. But inside and outside, it's very beautiful and full of history.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Beautiful, and very well preserved, it's worth going, and the ticket is very reasonably priced
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Magnificent place to visit costs 4 euros for entry children free
Translated from Spanish

Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Impressive place to spend a couple of hours learning about the history of Roses. Everything is very well maintained and explained.
Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Very nice people at the reception and they let you choose whether you want a guided tour or not. We chose not to, but they gave us a paper to read each number corresponding to its history. The history is very well explained and it's recommended to stop by as it explains each era. And behind the reception there is a museum that they should also see. ;-)
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: Excellent explanation from the guide. It's hard to believe, but there's so much history concentrated in that citadel.. the guide made sure to keep our attention at all times and to ensure that we didn't miss any details. She let us hold a coaster that is over two thousand years old and replicas of coins from the first inhabitants. There are activities for children.
Translated from Spanish

Fantastic experience: It's beautiful on the outside, and even more so on the inside. Recommended guided tour.
Translated from Spanish

Translated from Spanish

Positive experience: Beautiful place, there are still things to discover
