Castell de Palafolls, Medieval castle in Palafolls, Spain.
The castle stands on an elongated mountain ridge parallel to the Tordera River, overlooking the fertile plains and the lower course of the river.
First mentioned in 968 in connection with the Benedictine monastery of San Pablo, the castle contains architectural elements dating from the late 10th to 14th centuries.
The fortress served as the center of the Barony of Palafolls in the County of Girona and controlled the royal road from Girona to Barcelona along the coast.
Access requires navigating both asphalt and dirt paths, with the paved Carrer Camí del Castell road providing the most suitable route for vehicles.
The castle features a polygonal sovereign enclosure with a barrel-vaulted cistern and a 12th-century church containing traces of Romanesque paintings in its apse.
