Castillo de San Juan

Reviewed By Kelleygirl2 - Sarasota, United States

We drove up to the castle ruins on the mountain of St Joan, where the 13th century Castillo de San Juan, was strategically perched. Once a strategic point for defending the city, it was not surprising with its commanding views of the Costa Brava below. Sergio told us that over the years its walls have seen hoards of pirates. The castle is located in the Punta de Frenals, and dates from the eleventh century. It was listed as a Cultural Site in 1949. The foundations of the main tower, the eastern wall and some remains of the south side are the only remains of the castle today. The entire area provided excellent views over Blanes, its long sandy beaches and the bay. Nearby the lovely Chapel of St John the Baptist sits perched high above the sea with views of the surrounding mountains and the city below.
