Castell de les Sitges, Medieval castle in Les Sitges, Spain

The castle combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements with a quadrangular tower rising over 20 meters within fortified walls at 531 meters elevation.

Documentation from 1116 refers to the structure as Castrum Ciges, when Pedro Ponç entrusted it to his son Arnau before departing for the Holy Sepulchre.

The castle features a noble room with a fireplace on the first floor, while the ground level contains cellars, a dungeon, kitchen, and stables.

The castle offers guided tours through multiple floors, allowing visitors to explore medieval architecture and learn about Spanish defensive structures.

After supporting Charles VI during the War of Succession, the Ribera family lost control of the castle to King Philip V through confiscation.
