Castillo de San Juan: In the Blanes municipality, this historic monument is situated specifically in the Selva region. Although the tower goes back to Charles I, there is no doubt that in previous times it was a fortification. The watch tower is from the 16th century as the buccaneers and Barbary pirates of the Mediterranean demanded a taller tower to oversee the area and detect possible marauders.Nowadays, it has become a spectacular viewpoint from which one can admire Blanes in its entirety and part of the coast.
It goes back to Roman times, as evidenced by the Roman Villa of Can Llauder, dating back to the first century BC.

Places of interest:
Puerto de Mataró:Although there are many hypotheses about this, the most reliable is that there was no Roman port in Mataró. When people speak of a port, it refers to the set of rocks that are parallel to the coast and that run along the Sant Simó river, towards the front of Sant Antoni Street. In times when maritime and commercial activities went hand in hand, it became necessary to build a port as well as considering the confrontations between sailors and fishermen so as occupy the best areas of the beach.
The Basilica of Santa Maria :In the Plaza de Santa María, one of the most important and emblematic basilicas of Catalonia is found. Built from 1675 to replace the old Gothic church of which only the foundations of the bell tower remain. Before this, there was a Romanesque church dating back to the eleventh century, and prior to the same, there was a temple of Roman origin. On the main portal of the Basilica, one encounters the impressive and monumental organ, of 1927.
