Castell de Puig de la Creu

The Puig de la Creu castle stands at 668 meters elevation, featuring stone walls, multiple apses, and a semi-circular arch at its main entrance point.

Built around 1600, the castle complex includes a 12th-century Romanesque church that underwent major reconstruction between 1951 and 1957 following years of abandonment.

The site holds dual recognition as a Cultural Asset of National Interest and Bien de Interés Cultural, representing traditional vernacular architecture of Catalonia.

Access requires a challenging uphill trek from Castellar del Vallès along narrow paths, with motor vehicles prohibited and private property restrictions in place.

The castle grounds contain a geodetic vertex and form part of the 100 summits list maintained by the Federation of Catalan Hiking Organizations.
