Castell de Castellcir, Medieval castle in Castellcir, Spain
Castell de Castellcir is a medieval stone fortress built on elevated terrain in Catalonia's interior mountains, commanding views across the surrounding landscape. The structure preserves thick stone walls characteristic of its defensive purpose.
The fortress was built during the Middle Ages as a defensive structure controlling the mountainous border region. It was designated a Cultural Asset of National Interest in 1988, recognizing its importance in medieval military architecture.
Local residents know this fortress as Castillo de la Popa, reflecting the regional naming traditions and its connection to the community's heritage.
The site is remote and situated in natural terrain without nearby modern facilities or amenities. Wear sturdy footwear and prepare for uneven ground and exposed conditions.
The ruins are listed on the Red List of Endangered Heritage and require urgent conservation work to prevent further loss. Climate exposure and deteriorating stonework make it a priority for restoration efforts.
