The history of Llançà and its surroundings

Near where the town of Llançà stands today, was the ancient city of Deciana, founded in 218 BC. Centuries later, at the beginning of the 10th century, Llançà is mentioned for the first time under the name of Vall Lanciana or Vall Lanciani. In 1659, the date of the Peace of the Pyrenees, the French claimed Llança and wanted to place the border at Cap de Creus, but later it was agreed to pass it at Cap de Cervera. Towards the 18th and 19th centuries, the population lived mainly from the production of oil and wine, which they exported to France and Italy. It was not, however, until the 60s of the 20th century that tourism led to the dynamism and transformation of the municipality.
