Things to Do
Explore Old Town Sitges
The town dates back to Roman times so there is plenty of history to draw from. A popular attraction of Sitges is the quaint old quarter with its cobbled alleyways lined with a number of old palaces and even an ancient castle. One of the most popular things to do in Sitges is to enjoy an early evening stroll to the Placa de Baluard square, known as the entrance to the old town it offers views out along the picturesque coastline. For authentic Catalonia head off to Carrer d,en Bosch street. It flanks the city walls and takes you back to medieval times. The street is home to the Palau de Rei Moro, a gothic building built on an old Arabic palace. At the end of Carrer d,en Bosch you will arrive at the Placa del Ayuntament, the Town Hall Square. The town hall itself dates back to the late 19th Century and was built close to the old castle walls.
