The map
Roses lies at the northern end of the Gulf of Roses in Catalonia, where the flat Empordà plain meets the hills of the Cap de Creus peninsula. The town follows the shore in a long arc, with a beachfront, a harbour for fishing boats and yachts, and residential streets climbing the slopes behind. To the east the coast turns rocky and breaks up into small coves.
Near the centre of town stands the Ciutadella, a large fortified enclosure with a star-shaped plan and one of the most striking shapes on the map. Inside its walls are the remains of the Greek colony of Rhode and of later medieval buildings. On the headland east of the bay, the ruined Castell de la Trinitat once guarded the approach from the sea.
Beyond the town, the Cap de Creus natural park covers the headland, and a winding road leads to Cala Montjoi, where the restaurant elBulli became famous. A Roses map poster can hold all of this in one frame: the bay, the outline of the citadel, the harbour breakwaters and the crumpled coastline toward the cape.
The citadel's pointed bastions form a star-shaped outline close to the town centre, a fortification that encloses the excavated remains of Greek Rhode.
A long beach promenade follows the curve of the Gulf of Roses, and the harbour with its breakwaters marks where the town turns toward the headland.
East of town the shoreline breaks into coves and points, and the road network thins to a few winding routes across the protected landscape of the cape.
