El Mallol, Medieval architectural complex in La Vall d'en Bas, Spain.
The stone structures of El Mallol stand on a strategic hilltop at 530 meters elevation, overlooking the surrounding Catalan valleys.
The castle of El Mallol, first documented in 1204, served as the administrative center for the viscounts of Bas until earthquakes damaged it in the 15th century.
The Saint Bartholomew Church replaced the original Saint Justus Chapel, establishing El Mallol as a religious center within the medieval community.
The site received Cultural Asset of National Interest status in 1995, ensuring the preservation of its architectural elements for historical research.
Francesc de Verntallat, born in El Mallol, established Europe's first agricultural union and fought for peasant rights against feudal practices.
