Figueres (pronounced [fiˈɣeɾəs]Catalan for "fig trees", SpanishFigueras) is the capital of the comarca of Alt Empordà, in the province of GironaCatalonia, Spain.
The town is the birthplace of artist Salvador Dalí, and houses the Teatre-Museu Gala Salvador Dalí, a large museum designed by Dalí himself which attracts many visitors. It is also the birthplace of Narcís Monturiol, inventor of the first successful machine-powered submarine. Also born here was Mónica Naranjo, one of the best selling Spanish singers of the 1990s and 2000s.

History[edit]

The town's name derives from that of Ficaris, of Visigoth origin. In 1267, King James I of Aragon conceded it fuero rights, but four years later Count Ponç IV of Empúries set the town on fire.
During the Spanish Civil War, it remained loyal to the Republican government, and was repeatedly bombed by the insurgents. Figueres recovered starting from the 1950s, consolidating its economy around the tourism industry.

Main sights[edit]

Transport[edit]

Situated in the northeast corner of Catalonia, Figueres is about 40 km (25 miles) from Girona, 140 km (87 miles) from Barcelona, 60 km (37 miles) from Perpignan, and 50 km (31 miles) from Girona-Costa Brava Airport. It is also served by its own railway station just east of the old town center.
Figueres has been connected since December 2010 to the high-speed rail network with the start of services connecting Figueres to Perpignan via LGV, allowing direct TGV services to Paris in 5 h 27 min. Connections to Madrid-Barcelona via AVE began on 8 January 2013 and the trip takes 53 min (12 min to Girona).[4]

Summaries

  • With this documentary we wanted to talk about Dalí, his artwork, his philosophy and his persona, as well as his latest creation, the Dalí Theatre-Museum, where he transferred his universe and where he projected his imagination, his dreams and visions, and condensed a life devoted to art.
  • To visit the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres is to dive in Dalí's universe, in the evolution and understanding of his work and, at the same time, the history of art itself that he constantly alludes to, while keeping a deep respect to tradition. Is to get immersed into a labyrinth, with no chronological order but with multiple interpretations since many artworks, according to Dalí, he himself doesn't know its meaning. Is to become an active spectator and to participate in a creative event, midway between what is permanent and what is temporary. It offers the possibility to transform the intellectual experience and/or the leisure-cultural activity to a personalized museum visit that provides meaning, its own meaning, to the artwork.
