Castelltallat range, Mountain range and protected area in Bages, Spain

The Castelltallat range extends over 65 square kilometers between Barcelona and Lleida provinces, reaching an elevation of 938 meters above sea level.

The range received its name from a 10th-century castle, which served as a strategic watchtower for monitoring activities in the surrounding territories.

The Church of Sant Miquel, documented since 1031, displays architectural elements from Romanesque, Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical periods at 887 meters elevation.

The northern slopes contain dense forest coverage, while the southern slopes support agricultural activities due to their gradual inclination.

An astronomical observatory established in 2004 near the castle ruins features a 5-meter diameter dome and a 400-millimeter telescope.
