Cardona, Medieval fortress town in Bages region, Spain.
The municipality of Cardona sits on a hill at 507 meters elevation, with the Cardener River flowing around its perimeter in central Catalonia.
The Castle of Cardona, established in 886 by Wilfred the Hairy, served as a stronghold for the influential dukes who controlled territories across the Crown of Aragon.
The Church of Sant Vicenç exhibits Lombard Romanesque architecture and contains historical murals that now reside in Barcelona's National Art Museum of Catalonia.
Visitors can reach Cardona by taking a one-hour drive northwest from Barcelona, with regular bus services connecting the two locations throughout the day.
The Muntanya de Sal, a mountain of rock salt mined since Roman times, contains deposits that local artisans transform into decorative pieces and sculptures.
