El Puig de Sant Grau is a small promontory in Caldes de Malavella where thermal waters spring up, used as baths since Roman times. In the 12th century, the castle of Caldes was built there. Only a section of wall and its towers remain, in a space that today preserves a modernist garden with neoclassical temples over the thermal springs.
