Congress

Essentially Mediterranean and with an evident tourist and marine tradition, Roses is in the north of the Costa Brava, on one of the most beautiful bays in the world, in a unique natural environment between the Cap de Creus Nature Reserve and the Els Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Nature Reserve. Its origins date back to the 4th century BC with the founding of the Greek colony of Rhode. Since then, Roses has been a meeting point for civilizations that have left their mark in important archaeological sites and have shaped the identity of a modern and culturally active town. Roses has excellent hotels, prestigious restaurants, shops, and a wide range of leisure activities and watersports in the Bay.

The Roses Congress Centre is a spectacular modern building, winning the FAD 2003 award. It has multi-purpose areas to host conferences, conventions and business meetings.

Located in the centre of Roses, it is the focal point of a large, open area comprising a 1,300 m2 square and a car park for 100 vehicles.
