D'EN PLAJA CASTLE

This building, situated at the end of the Sa Caleta beach, is in fact a house-castle built by the Girona industrialist, Narcís Plaja. The project, dating from 1935, was the work of the Girona architect, Isidor Bosch. Construction work, though, was not completed until the 1940s, once the Civil War had finished.

This construction of the building was surrounded by controversy among the local people. Despite this, however, the image of the castle has become one of the symbols identifying Lloret,as, year in year out, it is the subject of postcards and photos taken by the thousands of tourists visiting the town.
