The town is the birthplace of Salvador Dalí, the best surrealist painter in the world. The Dalí museum is very large and attracts many visitors every year specially during the summer. Sant Ferran Castle is another important monument in Figueres.

Figueres is also the birthplace of Narcís Monturiol inventor of the first successful machine-powered submarine.

The population of our town is about 44.000 inhabitants. It has increased in the last 10 years mostly due to immigration from foreign countries.
