Castell de Balsareny, Medieval castle in Balsareny, Spain
The stone fortification stands on a 420-meter hill, featuring Gothic architectural elements and providing views of the Llobregat River and Pyrenees Mountains.
Built in 951 and reconstructed during the 14th century under Pere III, the castle served as a defensive structure monitoring the surrounding territories.
The castle hosts theatrical tours on the first Saturday of each month, presenting medieval life stories and local traditions to visitors.
Guided visits occur on Saturdays at 11 AM and 12 PM, while groups of 15 or more can arrange Sunday tours through advance reservations.
A Romanesque chapel from the 12th century stands next to the castle, celebrating the Virgin of the Castle festival each September 8th.
