Turissa (Tossa de Mar) Gerona, Spain.
A village on the Costa Brava in Catalonia 82 km NE of Barcelona. It retains its
defensive wall, protected by circular towers, dating from the Middle Ages. Excavation
of a Roman villa (both farmhouse and large estate) dating from the 1st-2d c.,
which was destroyed during the invasion of the Franks in 265 and rebuilt in the
4th c., has yielded pottery, glassware, and mosaics; an inscription on one mosaic
gives the ancient name: SALVO/VITALE FELIX TURISSA/EX OF/ICINA FELICES. The Roman
remains are housed in a small museum.
