Roses is a municipality in the comarca of the Alt Empordà in Catalonia, Spain at the north end of the Costa Brava. It is situated on the Mediterranean coast at the northern end of the Gulf of Roses. The origins of Roses (Greek: Rhode) are disputed. It is believed that Roses was founded in the 8th century BC by Greek colonists from Rhodes. However, it seems more probable that it was founded in the 5th century
BC by Greeks from Massalia (Marseilles). Roses is within easy distance of the French border and less than an hour by car from Girona airport. The C-260 road links the town with Figueres. Roses is the first city in Spain to get their entire city in 3D for Google Earth. |
