The watchtower of San Sebastian de la Guarda is original from the XVth century and is part of the assembly formed by the San Sebastian Cape, including the scenic viewpoint, the Sant Baldiri church (attached to the tower), the spectacular lighthouse and the archaeological Iberian settlement. Billed as a Cultural Asset of National Interest it is situated at the highest place, at 175 meters of altitude, in a very high cliff called Salt de Romaboira. The tower is rectangular with a rounded part oriented to east, and its summit is crowned with merlons. The interior is open to visitors and offers an exhibition.

0.7 miles awayThe Roman wine press was found in Coral Street, a few meters from the Llafranc beach in 1999, and has its origin in the first century after Christ. It is another evidence of the important Roman villa that was here at the time, taking advantage of the excellent port of Llafranc, protected from the north winds. In the village there was also a cellar (very near the Church of Santa Rosa) and a tombstone necropolis as shown next the press, with a touching inscription from Caesarea widow to her husband Carudo.

Dolmen Can Mina dels Torrents is 1 km far away from Llafranc center, in the middle of the wood, so it is highly recommended a visit by a walk. It is an ancient tomb, with no corridor, built between 3400 and 3000 BC. The maximum length inside is 2.10 meters and height is 1.60 meters. It is believed that around it had a cromlech though, because of being on a former vineyard field, it was removed.
