Ullastret, a bit further away, is an ancient Iberian village variously occupied by Greeks and Romans over the centuries. The ruins are really worth a visit and the museum is better than many with lots to see and learn.
This is an extensive Greek and Roman archaelogical site overlooking the Mediterranean near L’Escala. It’s is an absolutely beautiful place for a start. You can learn a lot about the Greek and Roman cultures and architecture and the museum is very fine.
