The Castrum visigòtic is a Visigoth fortification ( fort ) from the 7th century in the Catalan city ​​of Roses in Spain.

The ruins of the former fort have been archaeologically developed since 1946 and in 1963 the site was declared a Bé Cultural d'Interès Nacional (BCIN) ( Cultural Property of National Interest ).

The Castrum visigòtic is located on the top of a hill of the Puig Rom mountain and originally had two square defense towers.

The extensive archaeological area now belongs to the city of Roses and can be visited free of charge.
