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.

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..

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..

Castell de Sant Ferran is a stunning peice of building architecture. It's a great place to help understand the history of the region, and a beautiful place to see the areas around. Upon entering you can enter an explanation video in different languages. And you can walk with a map through the numberd sites each one has a short explanation. It was really nice to go around and see the biggest stronghold in the European continent.

Cool views of the area but could use more information and historical anecdotes. For example, in the stables a sign would read ‘this is an old stable where they housed 500 cavalry horses.” Felt very minimal. The cafeteria was very nice though!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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:)

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.

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. 💜🤟

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.

Interesting fortress. Not sure why it's called a castle. Cost us 5€ each.

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!

Very well maintained fort that is a special treat after the Dali museum. The horse stables are so j impressive. We had a great time.

A surprising large fort, needing at least an hour to walk along the numbered route. You get a map with the tickets which lists the numbered points on the self-guided tour. There is an audiovisual in a room on the left of the entry walkway which will be better to watch before you walk, not after like most visitors.

Interesting insights into recent Spanish history.. Magnificent and impressive structure.Apparently the largest Castle in Europe.. certainly looks it.. Google for detailed history. Enjoyable visit. Great coffee in in cafe but expect no less traveling in Spain..❤️🇪🇸😎

Absolutely impressive fortress, the biggest of it's kind in the world, it has been kept as close as possible to the original structure, and has had little to no restorative work. There is a short self guided tour that is informative, and well written. If you are in Figueres, it's definitely a good visit, but you only get to see a tiny sliver of the huge fortress, so it's not worth going out of the way for. In addition, the entrance fees are extremely cheap! €4 for adults! I would recommend it, however with a bit of restorative efforts it could be an amazing attraction.

Lovely, worth a look

Great experience. we had a AWD tour, an underground inflatable boat experience. One of a kind. You can also do your own walk. They have a little cafe/restaurant place.

A beautiful 16th century fort on the road to Figueres, nice for a short hour's visit. The information is clear and well indicated; it's almost a shame not to have more detail and context when you're not from the area...

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.

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

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!

Road around the castell's walls. Beautiful views from castell's hill to Figueras, walls, pathway, surrounds. Must see

Interesting historical place, it's the biggest fortress in the world. Open wide spaces everywhere and a place for running along the perimeter of the wall.
