The Sant Ferran castle Consortium was born as a result of the Governing Partnership Agreement, signed on November 6th, 2003 between the Ministry of Defense, the Autonomous Government of Catalonia and Figueres City Hall to put cultural value to Saint Ferdinand castle in Figueres; to do so, the Ministry of Defense yields to the Consortium the use of the lands and facilities of the Castle during a term of fifty years.
Today, thanks to this new boost, the fortress has recovered its historical value and has become a pole of cultural and tourism attraction both nationally and internationally. See all the information regarding the Consortium and the fortress itself.

Defense fortifications
The French troops’ frequent incursions during the late 17th century and the early 18th century revealed the need of having, in the this border territory, defense fortifications devoted to avoid the continuous invasions from the neighboring country.
In 1751, during Ferdinand VI reign in Spain, it was decided to build up Sant Ferdinand “Real Plaza de Guerra” in the Figueres surroundings. The building of the fortress was started in 1753 and the construction works continued until the first years of 19th century. At the time it was considered as a model of its kind, since it stood out due to the great layout and the magnificence of the completion. Learn about the services this monument offers.
