Sant Sebastià Lighthouse has a range of 50 miles, and is located on a cylindrical tower 12 meters high in the Cape of Sant Sebastià, a cliff 168 meters over the sea. It was opened in 1857 and this viewpoint is one of the most famous in the Costa Brava, very important in the work of the writer Josep Pla (born in Palafrugell). In the same place you'll find the Sant Sebastià de la Guarda monumental set, formed by an Iberian settlement, a watchtower and the church of Sant Baldiri.

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.
