Castell de Centelles

Standing at an elevation of 876 meters, the stone castle contains multiple defensive structures and offers views across the surrounding territory.

The castle history dates to 898, marking it as one of the earliest fortifications built during the Christian reconquest of Catalonia.

The Spanish government declared the castle a Cultural Asset of National Interest, preserving its architectural and historical elements for future generations.

Visitors should note that the castle grounds remain inaccessible to wheelchairs due to the steep terrain and lack of adapted pathways.

Local accounts tell of a battle where Christians tied torches to goats' horns, creating an illusion of a large army that led to enemy retreat.
