Castellar Viewpoint, or Castellar Rock, is on a coastal hill next to the port of Llançà. Formerly it was an island that had different uses, as a bulwark of defense or quarantine site for visitors arriving by sea. It was later artificially joined to the coast to form the beach Platja de la Gola (at south), and now a coastal path allows bathers of this beach or Llançà beach boulevard to enjoy the wonderful views of Cape of Creus, the center of the village or the northern coast that reaches France.

It was formed in the earth's crust by the consolidation of magma that moved up through a crack in the crust itself.
