Castellvell de Solsona, Medieval castle in Olius, Spain.
Located at 838 meters above sea level, Castellvell de Solsona displays a combination of Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.
The castle emerged around 1300, and historical records mention this location as castro selisona in 929, with additional documentation in 957 and 973.
The castle includes the Sanctuary of Mare de Déu del Remei, constructed in Gothic style upon the foundation of an earlier Romanesque chapel.
Visitors reach the castle from Solsona via Avinguda del Cardenal Tarancón, following C-149 road until directional signs indicate the castle entrance.
