The construction of the church Sant Romà in Lloret de Mar began in 1509, just as the life of the town had been inching closer to the sea and outgrowing the modest parish church then available. In 1522, the new temple was opened to worshippers.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the economical growth of Lloret de Mar fortuitously coincided with the wave of returning indianos who generously opened their pockets to finance a grand reconstruction. Thanks to the efforts of the local architect Bonaventura Conill whose works may also be seen at the famous Modernist cemetery in Lloret, the church received a striking addition—the Santíssim side chapel crowned with a cupola and decorated with Art Nouveau mosaics.

The master managed to blend the Gothic foundations of the Medieval structure with the lively and fashionable motifs of Art Nouveau, also adding Renaissance, Byzantian and Islamic references to the equation. The new church was inaugurated in 1914.

Castell d’en Plaja, a Neo-Gothic castle tucked to the side of the beach in Lloret de Mar, is a project of Catalan architect Isidre Bosch i Batallé who loved to work in the Art Nouveau style. Construction began in 1933 and was finished in the 1940s after the Civil War ended.

The castle was commissioned by Narcís Plaja Martí, a Girona entrepreneur with a clear vision for his summer residence. Locals who remember the Franco dictatorship era would also recall the last name “Plaja” by association with cookies Galetes Plaja. The factory making them is long defunct but the building housing it stands to this day at the intersection of Carrer Figuerola and Carrer Cerverí in the centre of Girona.

The castle Castell d’en Plaja is still owned by the Plaja family and is closed to the public so one can only admire it from afar, especially from the steps of Camí de Ronda.
