For a change of pace, our final pick isn't a single castle building, but an entire fortified medieval village by the sea. The Castle of Tossa de Mar refers to the 12th-century fortress walls and towers encircling Vila Vella (the old town) of Tossa de Mar on the Costa Brava. It is the only fortified medieval town on the Catalan coast that still stands today, making it a true rarity.
