Does Lloret de Mar have an old town?

The resort town spreads around the Old Town along the main beach. It's filled with tapas bars, restaurants, boutiques and many historical buildings such as the Town Hall and the Parish Church of Sant Romà.



Yes, Lloret de Mar possesses a charming and often overlooked Old Town (Casco Antiguo) that offers a stark contrast to the neon lights of its modern "party" districts. Located just behind the main beach, the Old Town is a maze of narrow, winding streets filled with traditional Mediterranean architecture, boutique shops, and authentic Catalan tapas bars. The centerpiece of this area is the Church of Sant Romà, a stunning 16th-century building famous for its colorful, modernist-style mosaics on its domes, which were added in the early 20th century. While walking through the old quarter, you can also find remnants of the town's history as a maritime hub, including the "Indianos" houses built by locals who returned wealthy from the Americas. In 2026, the local government has invested in pedestrianizing more of these streets to enhance the cultural experience for visitors. It is the perfect place to escape the crowds of the "strip" and enjoy a slower pace of life, discovering hidden plazas and historic landmarks like the Can Saragossa museum, which showcases Iberian archaeological finds.
