In Barcelona, the shadow of modernism is long, to the point that monuments such as the Sagrada Familia, Casa <\/strong>Mil\u00e0<\/strong><\/a>, Casa Batll\u00f3 or Park G\u00fcell hide an infinite number of interesting buildings from other periods. For example, from the Middle Ages, or inspired by the architecture of this period. And here comes a recurring question among those who visit the capital for the first time: where to see castles in Barcelona? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel like going on a trip to the Middle Ages without leaving this province, you are in luck, as in this article you will find unknown and really attractive fortresses, from which you will also enjoy some impressive views. It is also a perfect plan for those who are thinking about travelling with children to Barcelona or, simply, for art lovers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you ready? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castles in Barcelona city<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t want to leave the city limits of Barcelona, but you would also like to see a castle,\u00a0there is\u00a0no problem, as two of the most interesting examples are waiting for you here. Although in this case\u00a0they are not medieval, it is worth\u00a0paying a visit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montju\u00efc\u00a0Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Built on the homonymous mountain and at 173 m above sea level, it is one of the most characteristic elements of Barcelona’s skyline. This building dates from 1694, the year in which the castle was built on the remains of a fort from 1640<\/strong>. Since then, it has served as a military fortress – from which Barcelona has been bombed on more than one occasion – and, after the Spanish Civil War, it became a military museum. It is currently a municipal facility that depends on Barcelona City Council.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fortress has a star-shaped layout. Several bastions and exterior constructions protect the nucleus of the enclosure, surrounded by a deep moat. The main body is structured around a porticoed courtyard and its rooms are covered with a semicircular vault. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entrance is paid and allows access to small exhibitions. However, the main attraction of Montju\u00efc Castle is its magnificent views. If you don’t know what to do <\/strong>i<\/strong>n <\/strong>Montju\u00efc<\/strong><\/a>, visiting this monument will be a great success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Torre\u00a0Bar\u00f3\u00a0Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the most characteristic building in the Barcelona neighborhood, and the one that gives it its name. However, it is not really a castle, but a tower. The current structure, dating from 1905, was built to house a hotel<\/strong>, as part of a garden city project designed for the mountainous area of what is now the Roquetes district. However, poor communications with the center of Barcelona paralyzed the project.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this version of the origin of the Torre Bar\u00f3 castle coexists with two others. The first assures that it was built by the Baron of Pin\u00f3s at the beginning of the 19th century for his son, who was suffering from tuberculosis. However, the young man died before the work was completed, which meant that it was left unfinished. The other version states that, in 1873, the castle was bought from Baron de Pin\u00f3s by the Siwate family, who used it as a summer villa for a few years before abandoning it. What is certain is that the castle was restored in 1989 and declared a historical heritage site by Barcelona City Council<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located on the Carretera Alta de les Roquetes, 309-311, it is open from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. It is also one of the best viewpoints in Barcelona<\/strong><\/a>. Do you want to visit it?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castles in the province of Barcelona\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona’s castles are not limited to the Catalan capital, as its province also has other fortifications steeped in history. Here they are.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balsareny\u00a0Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On a 420 m hill in the town of\u00a0Balsareny, we come across this elegant fortress in the Catalan civil Gothic style, which is in an\u00a0excellent state of conservation<\/strong>. The current building, which still displays elements from the 14th and 15th centuries, was rebuilt in the 19th century. Next to it, there is a Romanesque chapel from the 12th century, with later modifications. It has been an\u00a0Asset of Cultural Interest since 1988<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Besora\u00a0Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This Romanesque building\u00a0is located in\u00a0the town of Santa Maria de\u00a0Besora, in the region of\u00a0Osona, and has been declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest. Located at an altitude of 1,023 m, only\u00a0part of its walls and some structures of the Romanesque church\u00a0<\/strong>are still standing, of which the apse and some Lombard arches of the side body can still be seen. In any case, its historical importance makes it a must for those travelling in the north of the province of Barcelona.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cardona Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the most beautiful and important of Barcelona’s castles. Located in the village of Cardona, in the\u00a0Bages\u00a0region, it is considered one of the most iconic medieval fortresses in Catalonia. Located on a hill and documented in 886, the castle has such striking elements as the 11th century\u00a0Minyona\u00a0tower<\/strong>, 15 m high and over 10 m in diameter, and the Romanesque collegiate church of Sant\u00a0Vicen\u00e7\u00a0de Cardona. It was here that the film\u00a0Chimes at Midnight<\/em>\u00a0(1965) was filmed, directed and starring Orson Welles. Today, the enclosure houses a Parador de\u00a0Turisme. It has been an\u00a0Asset of Cultural Interest since 1992<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Claramunt\u00a0Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the top of a hill of 453 m and in the\u00a0Gu\u00e0rdia\u00a0mountain range, the municipality of La\u00a0Pobla\u00a0de\u00a0Claramunt\u00a0has this ancient Romanesque castle.\u00a0Although the original building is from the 10th century, it was rebuilt in the 15th century<\/strong>. The homage tower, the Romanesque church of Santa\u00a0Maria and the Gothic church of Santa Margarida have survived to the present day. The remaining space is occupied by courtyards and bastions. It has been an\u00a0Asset of Cultural Interest since 1988<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erampruny\u00e0\u00a0Castle\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the town of Gav\u00e0<\/strong>, just 21 km from Barcelona, the ruins of a spectacular castle, documented since 957, await. It was originally part of the defensive system on the border between Muslim-dominated Al-Andalus and the Carolingian Empire and was the epicenter of political, economic and military control in the area. The castle was owned by the counts of Barcelona until 1323. In 1988, it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearby is the church of Sant Miquel de Erampruny\u00e0, a building that is part of the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia. Once there, you should not miss the wonderful views it offers over the Llobregat delta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gelida\u00a0Castle\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The village of\u00a0Gelida\u00a0is home to this medieval castle in ruins, documented since 945. Located on a cliff and north of the\u00a0Ordal\u00a0mountain range, it was the residence of\u00a0King Peter\u00a0of Portugal<\/strong>\u00a0in 1465. Since 1968, this building has been the property of the\u00a0Gelida\u00a0Town Hall and is now managed by the Association of Friends of\u00a0Gelida\u00a0Castle. It has also been an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1988.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mura Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although very little remains of this castle – barely a fragment of the 7.3 m wall and the base of a trapezoid tower, 1.95 m – we recommend you not to miss the town of Mura, in the\u00a0Bages\u00a0region, as it is one of\u00a0the most beautiful medieval villages in Barcelona<\/strong><\/a>. Walking through its cobbled streets and next to traditional stone houses and farmhouses, you will feel like you are travelling back in time in a unique setting. Try it out!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montesquieu Castle\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the most notable architectural element of the municipality. From its origins, around 1285, this fortress was the residence of the lords of the district of\u00a0Besora. Over time it has been modified and\u00a0extended, giving it its current appearance. It has always been linked to the castle of\u00a0Besora, a real\u00a0center\u00a0of power during the late Middle Ages. In the 19th century, already looking like a palace, it passed into the hands of\u00a0non-nobiliary families, and in 1976, at the express wish of the last owner, Emili\u00a0Juncadella, the castle and the estate were transferred to the\u00a0Diputaci\u00f3\u00a0de Barcelona, which\u00a0later created a park<\/strong>\u00a0around it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palafolls\u00a0Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This medieval military building is located on the hill of El Castell, in the municipality of\u00a0Palafolls\u00a0and near the coast. It was built overlooking the panorama of the lower course and the plain of the\u00a0Tordera\u00a0River, in a strategic location\u00a0to control the royal road from Girona to Barcelona<\/strong>\u00a0along the coast. At present, it is a building declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest since 1988, although it is in ruins.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rajadell\u00a0Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First mentioned in 1063, this castle has Gothic and 17th century elements, although it has been rebuilt on several occasions. Today\u00a0it is a fortified farmhouse with a square floor plan that preserves rooms from the different inhabited periods<\/strong>, a small underground chamber, a dungeon that was once used as a wine cellar, a weapons room, the bedrooms, the kitchen, the dining room and the stables. It is not one of the most surprising castles in Barcelona, but the authenticity of the village where it is located,\u00a0Rajadell, justifies the visit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castle of Sant\u00a0Mar\u00e7al<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Belonging to the municipality of\u00a0Cerdanyola\u00a0del\u00a0Vall\u00e8s\u00a0and declared a\u00a0Cultural Asset of National Interest in 1949<\/strong>, the castle of Sant\u00a0Mar\u00e7al\u00a0is documented in 1042, when it was part of the parish of Sant Mart\u00ed de\u00a0Cerdanyola. After having passed through various hands since the Middle Ages until the 20th century, it is now owned by the\u00a0Tr\u00e9nor\u00a0family.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castle of Sant Mart\u00ed de\u00a0Sarroca<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Also known as the\u00a0Santmart\u00ed\u00a0Castle, it\u00a0dates back to\u00a0the 10th century and is located at the top of the hill of the Rock, in the village of Sant Mart\u00ed\u00a0Sarroca, in the Alt\u00a0Pened\u00e8s\u00a0region. Together with the church of Santa Maria, it forms the so-called\u00a0Conjunt\u00a0Monumental de la Roca, which is protected for its artistic and historical value.\u00a0Its interior holds several archaeological and ethnological collections<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Castle of\u00a0S\u00faria<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Located on the highest part of a hill overlooking the\u00a0Cardener\u00a0River and in the beautiful town of\u00a0S\u00faria, this castle has been declared a\u00a0Cultural Asset of National Interest<\/strong>. It is currently used as an\u00a0Interpretation Centre for the Old Town<\/strong>\u00a0and can be visited. Next to the castle, the\u00a0Roser\u00a0Church is located, which still preserves part of the apse and the Romanesque-style bell tower. The walls of the castle rest on it, forming a wall on the eastern side. Don’t miss it!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Talamanca Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Belonging to the town of the same name and in the region of\u00a0Bages, this old Romanesque castle is first reported in the year 967. Although it was\u00a0dismantled in the eighteenth century<\/strong>\u00a0to be transformed into a fortified mansion, it ended up being rebuilt. Since 1988, it has been an Asset of Cultural Interest of Spain’s Historical Heritage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Valltordera\u00a0Castle<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We close our list of castles in Barcelona with a modern construction – it is from the 20th century – but with an imposing appearance thanks to its towers. Located in the village of Tordera<\/strong>, about 45 minutes from the city of Barcelona, this venue has been organizing nightly shows recreating medieval tournaments, as well as equestrian demonstrations and flamenco shows<\/strong><\/a> since 1984. You can find it in Carrer Vallmanya, s\/n. Without a doubt, it’s a perfect idea to get even more out of your stay in our holiday apartments in Barcelona<\/strong><\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many other places could be added to this list: the Burriac<\/strong> Castle<\/strong>, in Cabrera de Mar; the castle of the <\/strong>Vallparad\u00eds<\/strong> Charterhouse<\/strong>, in Terrassa; the Castelldefels<\/strong> Castle<\/strong>, in the town of the same name; the Santa Florentina Castle<\/strong>, in Canet de Mar; the Jalp\u00ed<\/strong> Castle<\/strong>, in Arenys de Munt; the Tona<\/strong> Castle<\/strong>, the Subirats<\/strong> Castle<\/strong>, the Llu\u00e7\u00e0<\/strong> Castle<\/strong>, the Vacarisses<\/strong> Castle<\/strong>…  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
