About this place

Tossa is home to a magical castle built in the 13th century with narrow alleys and pebbled roads. It’s the only fortified medieval structure still standing and was originally built to collect taxes from anyone who fished nearby and to fend off Nordic pirates. One of the towers is named the tower of the Hours as it was the only place in the town with a public clock. If only life was still as simple and marvelous as checking the time and paying your taxes in a breathtaking castle… ;)

Top Tip

Visit the Vila Vella, during the day and also at night... They are two totally different experiences and we love them both equally.
