Torre Negra, Medieval castle in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Spain

The Torre Negra features a square tower with geminated facades and a semi-circular arch doorway, constructed from dark stone materials.

Built in 1145 as a fortress to defend the Monastery of Sant Cugat del Vallès territory, the castle underwent major modifications during the 15th century.

The structure represents Catalan civil Gothic architecture with its interior design centered around a courtyard leading to noble rooms on the upper floor.

Visitors can access the estate and house for free on the second Sunday of each month through designated footpaths from Pl. Rotary and Pi d'en Xandri.

The castle appears in the background of the painting 'La Degollació de Sant Cugat' created between 1504 and 1507 by artist Ayne Bru.
