Parc de Montesquiu, Protected natural area in Montesquiu, Spain.
The Parc de Montesquiu is a protected natural area northwest of Barcelona with forested land of oak and red pine trees surrounding the Ter River. The grounds feature a network of walking paths that lead through different woodland types and open spaces.
A medieval castle on the grounds dates back to the 10th century and served as a defensive structure protecting the region. The building played an important role in local protection against threats during the medieval period.
The castle within the grounds operates as a gathering place for artistic and educational events that celebrate regional traditions and contemporary creation. Local people visit for readings, lectures, and performances that reflect their shared heritage.
Visiting is possible throughout the year and various walking routes are accessible for different fitness levels. Information materials in multiple languages help visitors plan their route and understand the plants and wildlife.
A waterfall called Molí drops about 20 meters and maintains steady water flow throughout the year despite the dry Mediterranean climate. This constant water source is unusual for the region and makes the spot a rare natural feature.
