Castell de Peratallada, Medieval castle in Forallac, Spain
The castle features solid stone walls, Gothic architectural elements, defensive towers, and a central courtyard surrounded by fortified structures.
Dating from the 11th century, the fortress served as the nucleus of the Barony of Peratallada and received official recognition in historical documents from 1065.
The castle represents medieval Catalan military architecture and stands as a Cultural Asset of National Interest since November 1988.
Located 37 meters above sea level in the Empordà region, the castle remains open for visits and sits near the Costa Brava beaches.
The name Peratallada originates from the construction method, as workers cut through natural sandstone to create deep defensive trenches around the structure.
