Castell de Vila-seca, 15th-century castle in Vila-seca, Spain.

The castle features a rectangular base with two floors above ground level, large windows on the noble floor, and balconies extending from the angular tower.

The castle originated during the Christian repopulation of Camp de Tarragona between 1162 and 1168, starting as a defense tower for the Olzina family holdings.

The castle now functions as an exhibition space for contemporary art through a partnership between the Vila Casas Foundation and Vila-seca City Council.

The castle museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM during summer, with guided tours on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

In 1899, Count Sicart purchased the property and initiated major transformations with architect Enric Fatjó i Torras, giving the castle its current neo-medieval appearance.
