History
Tossa de Mar's fortified old town dates to medieval coastal defenses built in response to pirate raids; earlier Roman occupation left mosaics and bath structures around the modern center.
Conservation
The town limits visitor impact within the walled area and nearby archaeological sites; stick to marked paths and avoid touching ancient masonry to help preserve fragile surfaces.
