4. Castell de Sant Esteve de Mar
The Castell de Sant Esteve de Mar is a ruined castle perched atop a cliff in the town of Palamós, in Baix Empordà, between La Fosca and the Cala s'Alguer. Only the bases of some towers and some walls remain, and is currently surrounded by a fence that prevents access to visitors. It is accessed from the path leading from the beach of Fosca to S'Alguer that forms part of the GR 92 long distance footpath.
5. Poblat ibèric de Castell
Castell de la Fosca or Punta del Castell is an ancient Iberian settlement or oppidum sited on a rocky promontory at the north end of the beach called Platja de Castell, about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) ENE of Palamós, on the Costa Brava.
6. Santa Eugènia de Vila-Romà
Santa Eugènia de Vila-romà is a parish church in the neighbourhood of Sant Joan de Palamós. It is documented in 1314 as the chapel of Sant Joan. Later, the parish church of Santa Eugènia de Vila-romà was moved there and became the chapel of La Pietat. The current building was built in 1765, according to an inscription. There are dates and pieces from earlier periods that possibly come from the old parish. In the last reforms, when the pulpit disappeared, the base was moved to a side chapel with the function of a small altar (1968). A year later, the constructions attached to the apse were made, which disfigured the complex.
