Figueres is a city of approximately 45,000 inhabitants in the Alt Empordà region, 8 km from the French border. It is the birthplace of Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) and the location of the Dalí Theatre-Museum — a surrealist building constructed by Dalí himself on the ruins of the old Figueres municipal theatre, which was damaged during the Spanish Civil War.

The museum is one of the largest surrealist objects in the world. Dalí is buried beneath the main stage. It is the most visited museum in Spain after the Prado and the Reina Sofía, and is part of the Dalí Triangle along with the Dalí Castle in Púbol and the Dalí House-Museum in Portlligat near Cadaqués. Book museum tickets well in advance — capacity is strictly limited.
