In which Spanish city was Salvador Dalí born in 1904?

Salvador Dalí was born in Figueres, Spain, in 1904.

Figueres is a city in Catalonia, near Spain’s border with France. Dalí’s connection with the city remained important throughout his life, and he later helped transform its former municipal theatre into the Dalí Theatre-Museum. That museum became closely associated with his legacy and is also his burial site.

Figueres is sometimes confused with Cadaqués, the coastal town where Dalí spent much of his youth and later maintained a home and studio at Portlligat. Both places were central to his life, but they are not the same: Figueres was his birthplace, while Cadaqués was an important artistic and family setting. Dalí’s full name was Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, and he was born on 11 May 1904.
