Castle of Llançà
The Castle of Llançà, also known as Palau de l'Abat, is located in the historic center of the town, next to the church of Sant Vicenç.
We find the origin of the castle in the 11th century, when it was built as a residence for the abbots of Sant Pere de Rodes and a center for the administration of justice. In the 17th century, its original structure was substantially reduced due to the construction of the church of Sant Vicenç. One of the main original elements that is still preserved is the imposing Tower of l'Abat.
Today, the Pati de l'Abat is a space that hosts small-scale cultural activities.
