Roses

Roses is a city of 19,000 people (2018) on the Costa Brava, in Catalonia. It is on the coast at the northern end of the Gulf of Roses, and is an important fishing port and tourist centre.

Understand
It is the site of the former bishopric of Rotdon, now a Latin Catholic titular see.

Over the last decades, important excavations have been carried out inside the walls of the Ciutadella concerning not only the Greek and Roman remains, but part of the medieval city and its walls. In the 1990s, extensive restoration work was carried out on the walls of the Ciutadella, and in 2004 a museum was opened inside it. A controversial restoration of the Castell de Trinitat was completed in 2010.
