Peralada Castle, Medieval fortress in Peralada, Spain
The castle combines Gothic, Renaissance, and historicist architectural elements with two prominent corner towers reflected in an adjacent lake.
Originally constructed in the 14th century after a fire destroyed the previous structure in 1285, the castle underwent major renovations during the 16th and 19th centuries.
The castle library contains 80,000 volumes, including illuminated manuscripts, Gothic texts, and over 200 incunabula showcasing medieval literary treasures.
Visitors can explore the Wine Museum, which displays 750 artifacts documenting the evolution of winemaking and original cellar equipment.
The Carmelite monastery within the castle grounds features one of the rare Gothic cloisters in Catalonia, connected to a Gothic church complex.
