Which Spanish region contains Salvador Dalí’s hometown of Figueres?

Catalonia contains Salvador Dalí’s hometown of Figueres.

Figueres is a city in the province of Girona, in northeastern Spain. It was Dalí’s birthplace and remained central to his identity throughout his life. The city is home to the Dalí Theatre and Museum, which the artist helped design and which became one of his most important public legacies.

Catalonia’s landscapes, language, customs, and coastline appear repeatedly in Dalí’s biography and imagery. He spent significant periods at nearby Portlligat, where he maintained a house and studio with Gala. The region’s rocky coast and distinctive light influenced the settings of many works.

Catalonia is sometimes confused with Andalusia because both are major Spanish cultural regions, but Dalí was born in Catalonia. Figueres is also distinct from Barcelona, the regional capital, and from Cadaqués, the coastal town near his Portlligat home.
