Bellvís Castle, Medieval castle in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain.

The rectangular structure features thick limestone walls, a square tower, and a ground floor area carved into rock that functions as a cellar point.

First documented in the 12th century, brothers Pere and Guillem Bellvís owned the castle, with Pere reclaiming it from Saracen control in 1149.

The castle transformed from a medieval fortification to a fortified farmhouse in the 16th century, reflecting changes in regional architectural patterns.

Archaeological excavations revealed a 5-meter-high wall extending 20 meters, with six firing embrasures on the second floor dating from the 12th century.

During the Spanish Civil War, the castle's underground area served as an anti-aircraft shelter for local residents.

Location: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat
